Update from March 7, 10:50 a.m .: The Bavarian state government assumes tens of thousands of Ukraine refugees who will have to be accommodated in the Free State in the next few weeks. “I think the number of 50,000* will be exceeded,” said CSU leader Markus Söder on Monday before a meeting of the party executive in Munich.
Bavaria’s Prime Minister said that temporary accommodation options would have to be prepared in many municipalities and church institutions. It will be a challenge to accommodate the many children. In many cases, women fled with their children. “There will also be a lot of children alone,” said Söder.
It is very likely that large cities such as Munich, Nuremberg and Augsburg will initially be the starting points. Söder called on the federal government to create a coordination council that would ensure a reasonable distribution of people across the federal states. It also requires financial support from the federal government for states and municipalities.

Ukraine war: Söder dampens hopes for successful negotiations – “brings no result at all”
Negotiations between Russia and Ukraine should continue on Monday. However, hopes of success are low as Vladimir Putin has made it a condition that Kyiv must accept all of Moscow’s demands, including Ukraine’s demilitarization and a neutral status for the country. Bavaria’s Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) is also under no illusions: “We must be clear: every conversation that is currently being held will not bring any result at all. There is only one strategy: help for Ukraine on the one hand and strengthening of NATO on the other. Söder was involved there.
