Dear Tanja! Why is your story absolutely one-sided?

I am an ukrainian volunteer in Austria and after 3 month of desaster with ukrainian refugees to read such one-sided story is really terrible. For how many refugees did you find apartment, school, dentist etc?

I will say you what we did...about 500 in the small town with about 10 volunteers.

3 month working 24/7....

Sorry but only thing what you do with your story - you cancel job of many many peoples who did everything every day in last three months to bring ukrainian peoples feelings of safety and welcoming in Austria.

Professional journalist will always give the possibility to their readers to have a whole picture.

Unprofessional one writes only one side.

I am not sure where you dropped in from, Iryna Malovana, but clearly you did not read Tanja's blog before you commented. You say something about you volunteering, but you do not tell any truth which can be verified. So, I do not believe your condescending and inaccurate words. Perhaps you might read what Tanja has borne witness to. Go ahead, read it. 106 days of it. What do you have to offer to read, Iryna Malovana?

Dear Chris, I can not offer something to read, because I have no time and also no need to write/ report about my volunteering in blogs/social media etc. I don't need to have some. Please come and ask 500 people about how it works. You are welcome every time.

Have something to read for other people and to be volunteer is not always the same.

I'm slightly fuming here, so I will trust Tanja's judgement to delete my comment (if it is possible to do so). My apologies in advance.

What a disgraceful comment... please share more about your work... Yeah, yeah, no time! however you do have time to post reply criticizing what you don't know about.

Are you sure you're Ukrainian..?

Millions of Ukrainian women are now refugees. Many have gone through grief, violence, bombing, death of loved ones. They gratefully accept shelter, even when living with 10 people in a room. Nobody complains. It is written in the article, Natasha and her son were given a separate apartment. This is a great luxury in today's conditions really. They are still dissatisfied. It's strange. Perhaps they want to use the situation to their advantage? Then it is an unfair to the other of refugees. There are sports and schools in every city in Austria. Go and get busy! Maybe they want a nanny for themselves?Such requirements greatly spoil the image of Ukrainian refugees. But I hasten to reassure you - there are only a few who demand an exclusive attitude towards themselves through the press. Ukrainians are all grateful to Austria for the help it provides for them

You are "researching of non-standard situations" and just consider the situation of people you've never met must accommodate to what you think the reality is..? Klar
