如同乌克兰人穿越欧洲逃亡在…的冲击下来自俄罗斯在乌克兰的袭击该地区的记者和居民告诉ABC新闻，非白人难民面临着来自边境巡逻的极端组织的歧视。
目击者称，3月1日，数十名自称右翼民族主义者的人在波兰普热米斯勒市中心抢劫，骚扰看起来像有色人种的难民。许多非白人难民在撤离乌克兰时抵达该市。
随着这场人道主义危机的持续，许多人担心极端主义会继续给试图逃离战争的有色人种难民带来麻烦。
据联合国难民事务高级专员公署(UNHCR)称，自2月24日俄罗斯军队入侵乌克兰以来，已有超过836，000人逃离乌克兰前往邻国。
联合国难民署表示，截至3月2日，这些难民中至少有453，000人逃到了波兰。
目击者称，周二在Przemysl火车站附近，成千上万的难民正在通过那里，任何看起来是非洲人或阿拉伯人的人都成为了袭击中极端分子的目标。
德国报纸《柏林摩根邮报》驻波兰记者朱利安·维尔泽(Julian Würzer)告诉美国广播公司新闻，极端分子对难民大声喊叫，要求他们离开这个国家，据称还袭击了他们。
美国广播公司新闻频道(ABC News)看到的在线视频显示，身穿防暴服的警察正在驱散事件，维尔泽说，在警察到达之前，事件持续了大约20分钟。
目前还没有人员受伤的报道。
当地政府没有立即回应美国广播公司新闻部对这些事件的评论请求。
然而，这些极端分子在这个国家是少数。当地市民尽了最大努力帮助那些逃离波兰-乌克兰边境的人。美国广播公司在当地的记者说，该地区的志愿者为许多难民提供住房、食物和衣服。
在边境，目击者告诉ABC新闻，据报道，极端分子一直在接受乌克兰人，但发誓要“保卫”波兰，防止非基督徒涌入。一些人认为这些极端分子得到了俄罗斯的支持。
波兰政府近年来与右翼理想结盟，并因反难民情绪受到批评。去年，波兰拒绝让成千上万的叙利亚和伊拉克难民在白俄罗斯总统亚历山大·卢卡申科强行将他们驱逐出境后。
联合国难民署专员菲利普·格兰迪(Filippo Grandi)证实，在接纳某些来自乌克兰的难民时存在歧视。他说，一些第三国国民报告说，他们在试图逃离时被卡住或被拒绝通过。
格兰迪说，国家政策没有造成歧视，“乌克兰人和非乌克兰人、欧洲人和非欧洲人之间绝对不应该有歧视。”
“每个人都在逃避同样的风险，”格兰迪在3月1日的新闻发布会上说。“我们将继续干预，就像我们几次做的那样，努力确保每个人都以同样的方式受到接待。”
Extremists harass minority refugees arriving in Poland from Ukraine, witnesses report
AsUkrainians flee across Europeamid the onslaught ofattacks from Russia in Ukraine, non-white refugees have faced discrimination from extremist groups patrolling the border, reporters and residents in the area told ABC News.
On March 1, dozens of self-identified right-wing nationalists marauded through the city center of Przemysl, Poland, and harassed refugees who looked to be people of color, the witnesses said. Many non-white refugees have arrived in the city while they evacuate Ukraine.
As this humanitarian crisis goes on, many fear extremism will continue to cause trouble for refugees of color trying to escape the war.
More than 836,000 people have fled Ukraine to neighboring countries since Russian forces invaded the eastern European country on Feb. 24, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
At least 453,000 of those refugees have escaped to Poland as of March 2, UNHCR said.
Near the Przemysl train station on Tuesday, where thousands of refugees are passing through, anyone who looked to be African or Arab were being targeted by the extremists in the attack, witnesses reported.
Julian Würzer, a reporter for the German newspaper Berliner Morgenpost who is stationed in Poland, told ABC News that extremists aggressively shouted at refugees to get out of the country and allegedly assaulted them.
Online videos seen by ABC News show police in riot gear diffusing the incident, which Würzer said went on for about 20 minutes before police arrived.
There have been no reports of injuries.
Local authorities did not immediately respond to ABC News' requests for comment on the incidents.

Ukrainian refugees arrive at the train station in Przemysl, Poland, March 2, 2022.
These extremists are a minority in the country, however. There has been an overwhelming effort by local citizens to help those fleeing across the Polish-Ukrainian border. ABC News reporters on the ground say that volunteers across the region have been offering to house, feed, and clothe the many refugees.
At the border, witnesses tell ABC News that extremists have reportedly been accepting Ukrainians but vowing to “defend” Poland against an influx of non-Christians. These extremists are believed by some to be backed by Russia.
Poland's government has aligned itself in recent years with right-wing ideals and has been criticized for anti-refugee sentiment. Last year, Poland refused to letthousands of Syrian and Iraqi refugeesin the country after Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko forcibly drove them out of his country.
Commissioner Filippo Grandi of the UNCHR has confirmed that there have been instances of discrimination in the admission of certain refugees from Ukraine. Some third-country nationals have reported being stuck or being rejected from passage in their attempts to flee, he said.
Grandi said that state policies are not causing instances of discrimination, and that "there should be absolutely no discrimination between Ukrainians and non-Ukrainians, Europeans and non-Europeans."
"Everybody is fleeing from the same risks," Grandi said at a March 1 press conference. "We will continue to intervene, as we have done several times to try to ensure that everybody is received in the same manner."
