The UN estimates that more than 6.3 million Ukrainians have left their country, but some have already returned. Nevertheless, the crisis has also revealed an unsightly truth: Roma are not welcome in many places. CNN<\/a> journalists visited shelters and spoke to a number of refugees, social workers and activists in the Czech Republic, Romania and Moldova. In all three countries, the problems faced by Roma refugees are surprisingly similar.<\/p>\n

For example, Roma refugees from Ukraine are often accused of not being Ukrainian.<\/p>\n

Reports by human rights groups in Poland, Slovakia and Hungary show that such discrimination is common in Eastern Europe.<\/p>\n

Nicu Dumitru, a Romanian Roma rights activist, told CNN<\/a> that this refugee crisis demonstrated the hostility with which Roma are still treated in Europe.<\/p>\n

In April, a large group of Roma refugees complained that they had been denied humanitarian aid at an aid station in Bucharest.<\/p>\n

“They were kicked out because there were ‘too many’ and ‘too noisy’ and people were telling them, ‘You are not Ukrainians, you are gypsies, leave,'” Nicu Dumitru told us.<\/p>\n

On the other side of the border, in the Republic of Moldova, Roma journalist Elena S\u00eerbu said she too was horrified when she saw what was happening in a refugee centre in Chisinau.<\/p>\n
