Many Roma are fighting in the ranks of the Ukrainian army. They, however, fear that once the war is over, discriminations will return.
They say it: Putin is killing us.
A group of Roma soldiers has been serving on the war front line in Ukraine for two weeks now.

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.

Volodymyr Yakovenko, director of the Ukrainian Youth Agency for the Promotion of Roma Culture (ARCA), asked the social network for help for the Ukrainian people, who are currently facing a humanitarian catastrophe as a result of the Russian military invasion. “I call on the entire world community to appeal to its leaders to call on Russia and Belarus to withdraw their troops from Ukraine. Stop this war! We do not want this war, we want to stay alive!”
