Many Latvian cities, including the capital, Riga, will no longer accept Ukrainian refugees. The state program to support Ukrainian refugees is suffering from a lack of funding and local authorities have said they no longer have the money to house people. Many refugees are at risk of becoming homeless -- the government cannot afford to pay for their hotel accommodation and it is too expensive for those without jobs to rent housing by themselves.
