“Some right-wing politicians believe that Ukrainians are "real refugees", and therefore others are not. This is not true. This is not reality. Syrians and Afghans may not be fleeing foreign armies, but they are fleeing the violence of their own leaders and governments. The war is just as real. The danger is just as real. Flight is just as real. The misery is just as real.”
