EU migration ministers to meet as thousands of refugees flee Ukraine
EU ministers for migration will convene over the weekend for a special meeting to discuss “concrete responses” to the Ukraine crisis, French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin announced.
Thousands of people have already streamed across the borders into neighbouring countries such as Poland, Moldova, Slovakia and also Russia, a spokesperson for the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) said in Geneva on Friday.
On Thursday, the European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, said the bloc had prepared contingency plans for refugees with EU member states for the event that Russia invades Ukraine.
