In Switzerland, the sentiment towards Ukrainian refugees is reportedly shifting, with increasing instances of hostility and political pressure on their protective status.

Reports indicate that Ukrainian refugees are facing verbal abuse on the streets, and aid organizations supporting them are encountering backlash.

This change in attitude is not isolated to Switzerland; in Germany, there are weekly physical attacks on Ukrainian refugees, and politically motivated anti-Ukrainian crimes have been on the rise since 2022. Activists like Julia Peters, who advocate for Ukrainian refugees, frequently receive hate comments, reflecting a broader decline in solidarity.

Swiss organizations are expressing concern over this waning support, highlighting the need for renewed efforts to foster integration and understanding.
