Roma Refugees from the Ukraine
Yes, it is more difficult if you are Rom, or Arab, or African.
Bad, and sad that in the 21st century, such obscurantism still prevails.

Roma Refugees in Germany
“A small town made up of Sinti and Roma” is developing on the Munich exhibition grounds. The member of parliament Andreas Lorenz (CSU) visited the exhibition halls on Sunday (March 3rd). His conclusion: “Today, 2,100 people are housed here. 1,200 of them are children. 90 percent are Sinti and Roma.” Apparently not all those who arrive come from the Ukraine. “Around 30 percent have no papers”, can be heard in the exhibition halls. Lorenz: “I found that many don’t even know the Ukrainian government districts.”

Unfortunate
Such articles do not help, but then, the facts are not good either.

Interview
A group of Roma soldiers has been serving on the war front line in Ukraine for two weeks now. They are all from one city, but now, like other Roma in Ukraine, they have volunteered to defend their homeland from a barbaric attack by the Russian army. “We get up at four or five in the morning, as needed. There are days when we don’t sleep at all,” says a Romani soldier from the Ukrainian army in an exclusive interview with ROMEA TV.
