As Ukrainians flee across Europe amid the onslaught of attacks from Russia in Ukraine, non-white refugees have faced discrimination from extremist groups patrolling the border, reporters and residents in the area told ABC News.
On March 1, dozens of self-identified right-wing nationalists marauded through the city center of Przemysl, Poland, and harassed refugees who looked to be people of color, the witnesses said. Many non-white refugees have arrived in the city while they evacuate Ukraine.
As this humanitarian crisis goes on, many fear extremism will continue to cause trouble for refugees of color trying to escape the war.
More than 836,000 people have fled Ukraine to neighboring countries since Russian forces invaded the eastern European country on Feb. 24, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

(4,392 posts)more puzzling is the bristling hubris of Putin to invade his neighbor's sovereign borders in order to purported cure Ukraine not Russia of neo-nazism and their own "corruption" while he dreams of empirical Russian "law and order" of the past, skipping over their own history of "genocide, power plays, and apologist religious fervor that approved of corruption of the white wealthy" through the present. Something's stuck in his craw - the failure of Trump to deliver the USA along with Epstein's lucre from traffiking, or his buddies around the world that failed to deliver him that Penthouse suite of vice in his puppet's branded hotel in which he'd be free to pursue his kinky but slimy lifestyle? Get smart, Russians - you need a new leader!
