Human Rights Watch, Moldova: Romani Refugees from Ukraine Face Segregation, 25 May 2022 "Romani people face pervasive bias and persistent discrimination in both Ukraine and Moldova. The estimated 400,000 Roma in Ukraine before the Russian invasion faced high levels of poverty and lack of access to employment, education, and health care. The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) called Roma in Moldova “one of [the country’s] most disadvantaged minority groups,” with most Romani families living in poverty and lacking basic services." Thomas Reuters Foundation News, Ukraine's stateless trapped in warzone with no proof they exist, 4 April 2022 “Honcharova [stateless person in Ukraine] said the conflict had compounded the difficulties and discrimination already faced by stateless people in Ukraine. “It’s hard because I can’t get medical care or social help for the kids, I can’t work officially and can’t earn money,” she said. Sofiia Kordonets, project manager with Right to Protection, a Ukrainian organisation supporting stateless people, said many were heavily reliant on charities and volunteers for help as they are unable to access formal work. Stateless people are less likely to have savings to tide them over and could face greater obstacles in finding accommodation and assistance if displaced, she said. The government has offered many Ukrainians in warzones a one-off 6,500 hryvnia ($220) payment, but stateless people are not eligible because the benefit is only offered to taxpayers.” AI – Amnesty International, Amnesty International Report 2021/22; The State of the World's Human Rights; Ukraine 2021 , 29 March 2022 "In July, the government approved a national strategy to 2030 to address discrimination against the Roma community. However, the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic had a disproportionate effect on this community as many relied on the informal economy for irregular earnings. Past attacks against Roma werse not effectively investigated, including the destruction of a campsite and physical violence against Roma at Lysa Hora park in Kyiv in August 2018. In August, the Prosecutor General’s Office informed Amnesty International that it had overruled a decision to halt the investigation, but no further progress was reported." US DOS, Report on the human rights situation, Report on the human rights situation in Ukraine (1 August 2021 - 31 January 2022), 28 March 2022 "In self-proclaimed ‘republics’, OHCHR continued to observe a lack of media coverage critical of or different from the official position of the ‘republics’ on various matters. […] OHCHR is concerned about the complete lack of accountability for past attacks on Roma settlements, including those in the village of Loshchynivka, Odesa region in 2016 and Vilshany, Kharkiv region in 2017. […] The landfill, which does not have any official documentation as required by Ukrainian law, allegedly pollutes ground waters and negatively affects the health of those living in the area. […] Due to low housing prices and incomegenerating opportunities from manual recycling, there have been increasing numbers of Roma moving to the area and increasing tensions between the local Roma and non-Roma […] in the vicinity of the police or FSB buildings. […] list of limited exceptions. […] Entry was, inter alia, granted to travellers visiting close family members in Crimea, provided that the latter held Russian Federation citizenship. […] No exception was provided to Ukrainian citizens who own land in Crimea and faced the risk of its forcible sale or nationalization due to Russian Federation restrictions on owning land plots by “foreigners” in “border areas”. […] OHCHR documented cases of individual travellers who were unable to enter Crimea despite having family connections and humanitarian reasons to travel".
