Ukrainians at risk from anti-refugee tensions in host countries, report warns

Falsehoods and disinformation could cause breakdown in relations with local communities, says World Vision

Ukrainian refugees are likely to become victims of rising tensions and disinformation campaigns in their host countries, a report has warned.

False reports exaggerating how much aid refugees receive compared with local people, as well as linking refugees with violent crime and political extremism, could cause a breakdown in relations with local communities, the charity World Vision said.
