Thousands of Ukrainians who fled to Spain after Russia invaded their country last year are still waiting for promised payments of 400 euros ($425) a month in the Spanish regions where most of the refugees live.
The central government promised in June that the “most vulnerable” Ukrainians would receive monthly help from a 52.8 million-euro fund, with direct payments made through Spain’s regional administrations. Every family judged to be in this category would also receive an extra 100 euros a month per child, the Spanish government said.
The payments have yet to be disbursed in the Valencian Community, Catalonia and Madrid regions, the Associated Press confirmed Friday. The three regions together are home to more than two-thirds of 168,000 Ukrainians registered by the Interior Ministry as under temporary protection in Spain.ADVERTISEMENT
“Ukrainians are looking for homes to rent now, and it’s difficult for families to find a place and pay for it,” Yuri Chopyk, who leads a Ukrainian community group in Madrid, said. “There are good intentions, but at times there have been problems of implementation.”
