Ukraine – The European Union’s (EU) delegation in Kenya has denied allegations of discrimination against Africans in EU member states bordering Ukraine. Europe says that countries near Ukraine that have been at war have welcomed all people fleeing the conflict without exception, dismissing claims that they have been unfair.
According to a press release from the bloc, more than 200 Kenyans were trapped in Ukraine as a result of Russia’s incursion. According to the press release, the EU condemns “inaccurate and biased media reporting on this topic that has repeatedly emerged on numerous Kenyan channels and social media, and begs for thorough verification of the facts.”
Given that deliberate disinformation is being circulated in some situations, it stated, “The EU Embassies currently in Kenya are ready to give factual data.” It’s said that free transportation has been given by Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania to refugees fleeing the war in Ukraine, which is next door to Kenya.
