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.
