Aiming at a first assessment of the economic and social impact on Limassol of the war in Ukraine, a wide-ranging meeting was held on Tuesday at the Municipal Hall of the city, with Mayor Nikos Nicolaides stating that the city wants to ensure its social cohesion, with thousands of Ukrainians and Russians living permanently on the island for years, but also to help, as best it can, the thousands arriving from Ukraine.
More than three thousand Ukrainians are estimated to have arrived in Limassol recently, according to Mr Nicolaides, while, according to a representative of the Ukrainian community, many of them are facing difficulties due to high rents and the fact that their children do not know either English or Greek.
