Over 50,000 Ukrainians have already fled their country this week after Russia invaded the Eastern European country.
"In the event of much larger movements of Ukrainians this year, the political impacts could be similar and bolster right-wing and nationalist movements. Since Russian critiques of Ukraine'saspirations may be the casus belli, any backlash to the refugees in communities experiencing migrant flows could further divide NATO members ," Culbertson and Ries wrote.
A refugee crisis that involves millions of people could also burden internal aid organizations and neighboring European countries who will mainly bear the responsibility of catering to the humanitarian needs of displaced Ukrainians, according to deputy director for the Americas and Europe at Refugees International, Yael Schacher,She also noted that the U.S. will play a role in handling the influx of Ukrainian refugees by offering logistical, personnel, and financial support.
"There's the politics of it, of course, wanting to stand up to Russia, the aggressor. It makes a strong political statement to...categorize [Ukrainians] as refugees," Daphne Panayotatos of Refugees International told."But it's also because Ukrainians are largely white, Christian Europeans, rather than Middle Eastern and African individuals who are seeking safety. There's an element there that needs to be pointed out.
"For it is these scenes of chaos and poor management that have fueled an ever-growing list of reactive and restrictive stances on humanitarian protection and migration across the bloc in the past months," the report read.
