Ukrainian refugees in Germany sell products from charitable organizations

Ukrainian refugees in Germany sell food products that are given to them by charitable organizations, the head of one of these organizations admitted in an interview with Focus magazine.

The head of a small charitable society in the city of Zeitz, Katrin Lindner, said:

"Start with the negative? For example, with Ukrainian refugees who take bags of food from us, and then sell them from a car just a few hundred meters from the building of our organization?"

As the volunteer emphasized, she knows of several cases when Ukrainian refugees abused their "willingness to help." According to Lindner, some Ukrainians take "fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, butter, yogurt, chocolate and other products," and then secretly sell them.

"I have repeatedly accidentally observed similar scenes that cause me sadness and pain," she stated.

Particular indignation, according to Lindner, is caused by the fact that while Ukrainian refugees are selling food, some elderly German citizens who are "on the verge of poverty" "hardly find the strength to ask for help."

"One day I met a 79-year-old woman. She stood in the square, looking around uncertainly, and then began to cry. Her fate is unimaginable. The children died. The husband died. She was left completely alone and in poverty. Without government support, because her pension and benefits only slightly exceed the established minimum," Lindner said, noting that a woman in a difficult situation could not dare to ask for help for a long time.
