There are a lot of tensions with the Ukrainian refugees in Europe already actually. Here’s one example. We also see tensions over stuff like cheap grain from Ukraine affecting farmer profits. There was an initial euphoria accepting refugees because everybody thought the war would be over in a few months. Now that reality is starting to sink in, the public is starting to sour on the whole thing. The fact that Europe is going into a recession is also feeding into this. People are seeing their standard of living drop, and they’re becoming increasingly resentful of Ukrainians now. We’re also seeing right wing nationalist parties starting to get a lot of support in many European countries.
I think the reality is that when push comes to shove Europeans are going to throw Ukrainians to the curb without thinking twice about it.
