Since Ukraine lifted the travel ban for men between 18 and 22 years old in the summer, more young men have been coming to Vienna with their partners or families, said Martina Plohovits from the Vienna Social Fund.

Although most people move on from Vienna or go into basic care distributed throughout Austria, the center operated by Volkshilfe has been completely full for over a month. All centers in the federal states have now been closed, said Plohovits. "We actually feel a bit alone in this and repeatedly appeal to the federal states and the federal government. It hasn't helped much so far."
