The attacks in Ukraine never stop. Emergency aid coordinators fear a wave of refugees in the summer and report a possible ‘lost generation’.
“It is assumed that there will be a wave of refugees if the bombings continue,” said emergency relief coordinator of the aid organization “Jugend Eine Welt”, Wolfgang Wedan. In neighboring Moldova, preparations are being made for June or July. The size of the refugee flow will “certainly be in the five-figure range”.
Missiles too fast to reach shelters
He pointed out that Odessa is currently particularly affected by Russian attacks. Unlike at the beginning of the war, not only infrastructure facilities were targeted, but also residential buildings. Especially in multi-storey buildings, it is hardly possible to reach shelters in time in the event of an attack. The missiles fired from the annexed Crimean peninsula would take just 120 seconds to reach the city of millions.
“There is a growing feeling that the West is abandoning us,” the aid worker said, describing the mood. The focus is mainly on Germany and the US; people never really expected anything from countries like France or Great Britain.
Fear of the outcome of the US elections
People are very afraid of a victory for Republican American presidential candidate Donald Trump in the November elections. After all, they are convinced that without the West they would be lost and that the whole of Ukraine would then become Russian.
Many children are traumatized
Psychosocial care for children is also particularly important. Many are traumatized and if left untreated, a lost generation could emerge. They wanted to continue helping if there was enough money; they are highly dependent on small donors who literally save their donations from their mouths in difficult economic times.
