    Copenhagen ready to send Ukrainians to Jutland

    ·

    The City of Copenhagen is ready to send more displaced Ukrainians to Jutland after five Jutland mayors opposed the government’s bill to halt immigration from 14 Ukrainian regions in Jyllands-Posten.

    Andreas Keil, Social Democrats, Mayor of Employment, Integration, and Business, wrote this in a letter to the mayors.

    “If you have the opportunity to receive a number of displaced Ukrainians, it will be a great help to Copenhagen,” he wrote in the letter.

    He further writes that it will simultaneously be a concrete contribution to the redistribution among municipalities that Minister for Immigration and Integration Morten Bødskov (Social Democrats as well) has previously requested.

    “I understand it to mean that the five Jutland municipalities would like more settlement, labor, and have more opportunities to accommodate the newcomers, while we, conversely, in Copenhagen are challenged to find accommodation for more than the 3,800 Ukrainians we already accommodate now,” he stated.

    The letter has been sent to the mayors of Hjørring, Lemvig, Vesthimmerland, Skive, and Brønderslev Municipality, respectively.
