A stark difference between London and Berlin

From yesterday’s Guardian:

When Lillia Fomina, 29, decided she needed to flee from Zaporizhzhia, she wanted to go to the UK. But after waiting for nearly a month in western Ukraine  for her visa to come through, she changed her mind and made the 32-hour journey to Berlin. 

Within 12 hours of arriving in the German capital, 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 her five-year-old son.
