Ireland has no space left for Ukrainian refugees, and the Czech Republic will pay Ukrainians to return to their homeland.

Ireland has faced a crisis in resettling temporarily displaced people who are under temporary protection in the country. The Embassy of Ukraine in Ireland was informed that in the next few months newly arrived Ukrainians will be unable to find free housing from the Irish government. Ireland so far has provided shelter to 86,000 refugees from Ukraine.

Meanwhile, the Czech Republic is preparing a special program to assist the voluntary return of Ukrainian refugees. The country’s government plans to decide on the type of support for which funds will be allocated and then launch the project. The Czech government will make changes to the law, known as lex Ukrajine, which deals with the rights and obligations of Ukrainian refugees. The amendment should also extend temporary protection for one year, until the end of March 2025. As of the end of last week, the Czech Republic has 360,900 refugees from Ukraine.
