This paper presents results of contrastive research of phraseological neologisms in German and Ukrainian. The research aimed at a conceptual analysis of phraseological neologisms used in digital media during the coronavirus pandemic in Germany and Ukraine. It was conducted in two steps: the description of structural-semantic features of selected phraseological units in both languages, and, by contrasting them to existing neologisms, the determination of their equivalence types. The material basis is formed with 96 German and 60 Ukrainian phraseological neologisms from the years 2020-2021. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the course of the war in Ukraine, there has been a strong reactivation and new activation of volunteers in the field of refugee support. The article firstly traces this phase of engagement and works out similarities and differences to the situation in 2015/2016. The profiles of those involved and the motives for their involvement are very similar to those of earlier waves of involvement. What is new is the strong engagement of Russian and Ukrainian speakers in Germany and the number of persons offering private accom)modation for refugees. Due to the application of the ‘mass influx directive’, Ukrainian refugees started their lives in Germany under significantly better conditions than other refugees when it came to finding a place to live and taking up employment. The article therefore discusses secondly whether this constellation might also lead to ›first and second class‹ solidarity among those who get involved. The article is based on the analysis of 58 qualitative interviews with people who are volunteering for refugees in Germany. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
