JRS Ukraine
The increasing number of migrants into Ukraine continues to
outpace its capacity to handle even a modest flow. The porous
Russian-Ukrainian border admits innumerable migrants from
countries stretching from Chechnya to Koreas to Afghanistan. The
Balkan route sees countless Africans en route through Ukraine to
the EU.
In 2006 a centre was opened for the care of refugee claimants.
Four lawyers and a language instructor volunteered their
services. Constant contact is maintained with border guards and
officials from the Department of Migration.
JRS Ukraine collaborates with JRS Portugal and other JRS offices
in assisting Ukrainian irregular emigrants who wish to return
home for reasons of health or poverty.
