"We need to build up our capacities very quickly" - Moldova's
Prime Minister Natalia Gavrilita
--- Quote ---
> Moldova's Prime Minister Natalita Gavrilita spoke with DW
ahead of a donor conference and said that besides the parties to
the conflict, Moldova is the country most affected by the war.
"About 15% of our trade was with Ukraine and Russia and Belarus.
The Odesa port was a very important logistics port," the prime
minister said. These come on top of other issues also seen in
other European countries such as rising energy costs and high
inflation which has "already reached 18% in Moldova." Gavrilita
said that more than 400,000 people have already fled Ukraine
into Moldova, of which 100,000 have decided to stay. "At a
stable population of around 2.7 million, this represents more
than 3% of our population, almost 4%," she said, adding that
most of the refugees were vulnerable people in need of aid.
Moldova is also dealing with a separatist region along the
border with Ukraine — Transnistria — where Russian troops have
been stationed. Gavrilita said Moldova is "concerned" about
their presence, but added that they have not seen "any specific
plans or movements" that indicate those forces would engage in
the war in Ukraine.

> How many refugees are in Moldova?
> Since the beginning of the aggression, Moldova has welcomed a
high number of refugees fleeing the Russian bombs. With one
hundred thousand refugees from Ukraine currently in Moldova, it
is the country with the most refugees per capita, while also
having to manage twice as many refugees transiting through its
territory.

Moldova is not even mentioned on this list for crying out loud!:

Refugees arriving across the Mediterranean since 2015 also
included many with serious health problems who shouldn't have
had to travel by land (let alone by sea in overcrowded
dinghies). Where were you and your small planes back then?

If Ukrainian refugees themselves had any conscience, they would
refuse to accept processing until all refugees who have been
waiting longer than themselves have been processed first. But
they don't, because they don't.

So if new refugees from Afghanistan arrive, will Germany by the
same reasoning expel the current Ukrainian refugees because
these new Afghan refugees would need a roof over their heads and
a bed? We all know the answer.

Laschet, the leader of Merkel’s CDU party, told voters that 2015
“must not be repeated,” referring to Merkel’s decision to
welcome around a million Middle Eastern and African migrants.

standards” to refugees, depending on their country of origin.

Even if we assume all 40% who wanted the government to take more
refugees are among the 91% supporting taking in refugees from
Ukraine, that still leaves 51% of outright ethnonepotist
Germans. This is why no leftist should support democracy.

If it were simply a matter of more refugees leading to food
having to be shared more thinly, we would hear stories about
hungry Ukrainian refugees also. We don't, because it isn't. What
is really going on is that some refugees are not getting enough
food in order to ensure others get plenty. It is not hard to
guess which.
