Refugees from Ukraine with physical or psychological impairments, and their family members, need information when they arrive in Germany about accessible registration, residence, and accommodation and care in keeping with their needs. The complementary independent participation counselling service (EUTB) advises these people throughout Germany. The association “mittendrin e.V.” has created an information page in Ukrainian and Russian for this group of people. More information about the EUTB is available in this leaflet.
