Here is how Germany helps the Ukrainian refugees, of which it has over 390,000 so far:
“Less than 12 hours after arriving in the German capital last Monday night, she had obtained a provisional residence permit, got hold of a free sim card for her phone, opened a bank account, and found a free place at a church-run nursery for Lev, who is named after the Russian writer Tolstoy.
By the end of the week, Fomina had also obtained German health insurance and been handed the first instalment of a monthly benefits payment of €616 (£516) for her and her son, as well as a one-off €294 payment to buy new clothes, all in cash.”
