Over 8.5 Million Ukrainian refugees Abroad Since 2014

This is huge! The current population of the Ukraine is estimated at about 39.5 million.

In 2014, Putin the Terrible annexed Crimea and President Obama and the rest of the West did not do much about it! Very regrettable and a huge mistake!

Over 8.5 Million Ukrainians Displaced Abroad Since 2014, Ombudsman Warns "Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets announced that 8.5 million Ukrainians have fled abroad since the onset of Russian aggression in 2014. Speaking at the Global Ukrainian Summit, Lubinets cited UN data showing that more than 5.7 million of these departures occurred after the 2022 full-scale invasion began. The Ombudsman called for the continuation of international temporary protection statuses until active hostilities end, while condemning illegal foreign seizures and adoptions of Ukrainian children."

Poland Moves to Grant Displaced Ukrainians 3-Year Residency

Good news! Bravo!

Unfortunately, it appears the long article does not mention how many Ukrainian refugees are affected.

"Poland has unveiled a plan to allow displaced Ukrainians to transition from the current temporary protection status to a three-year residency on Monday, May 4.

The route, known as the CUKR, is available to Ukrainians who have a PESEL UKR tax identifier, held temporary protection status as of June 4, 2025, have maintained it continuously for at least 365 days, and continue to hold it at the time of applying for the residence card, according to Polish outlet RMF24.

The three-year residency would grant applicants the right to work legally without needing additional work permits. However, it would also mean that benefits tied to temporary protection would no longer be available, according to the Polish Office for Foreigners, as cited by the outlet. ..."

Poland’s Transformed Tuberculosis Response following the influx of 1.5 million war refugees from the Ukraine in 2022

Good news! Bravo Poland for taking in so many war refugees!

"When Poland saw a rapid influx of 1.5 million Ukrainian refugees in 2022, health officials were on high alert for drug-resistant tuberculosis, as Ukraine has one of the highest TB burdens in the world. 

 

But the crisis laid bare Poland’s own outdated tuberculosis response system, which involved long, isolated hospital stays and multiyear, often toxic, drug regimens.  

 

Rapid revitalization: Poland swiftly overhauled its care model, implementing a pilot program that included a six‑month course of an oral drug combination known as BPaL/M, which has far higher cure rates than Poland’s previous standard protocol of various drugs. ..."

Migration Response Done Right: Brazil’s Model. Really!

How stupid is the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health to publish this propaganda and demagoguery!

This is not about migration, but about Venezuelan refugees escaping the leftist dictatorship in Venezuela!

"PACARAIMA, Brazil—Migrants fleeing Venezuela’s [???] deteriorating political and economic system have found something wondrous at the border with Brazil: Open arms. 

 

Since 2018, the Operação Acolhida (Operation Welcome) partnership has blended military logistical support with respect for humanitarian autonomy to provide housing, essential services, and efforts to counter human trafficking, though U.S. foreign aid cuts have forced some organizations to scale back."

Refugees/migrants interrupt a session of Icelandic parliament!

Unfortunately, a very long winded chatty and inconsistent article! Iceland has a population of less than 400,000.

This incident probably shocked the nation!

Here is the core of it:

"... On March 7, a session of the Allting – Iceland’s parliament – was interrupted by three foreign men in the visitors’ gallery who have apparently settled illegally in the country and who, in a language that was clearly not Icelandic, shouted out demands that the government provide them with homes, residency permits, and a right to be joined in Iceland by their families. (If they’re this arrogant when there are so few of them, what would it be like if their relatives – and their relatives, and their relatives – came and joined them ... Reykjavik. It’s a clean, charming city of 120,000 in a remote island country of 370,000, and until recently virtually everybody there was Icelandic. ... the Allting  had actually voted recently to grant residency to 72 people from Gaza who “are already on their way to Iceland by way of Cairo.” ..."

"... Birgir Ármannsson, the President of the Icelandic parliament, had to postpone a parliamentary meeting due to shouting on parliamentary platforms and a man apparently threatening to jump down, at the same time as Minister of Justice Guðrún Hafsteinsdóttir introduced a new bill on asylum seekers. ...
There are 759 police officers on the island, 89 of whom have no training in active police work - the low number indicates trust, security and a generally high level of security in the country.  ...
The Althingi, Alþingi, passed an immigration law in March last year which deprives asylum seekers of their right to social housing and free health services 30 days after the application has been rejected. ..."
