Washington: The European Union is preparing to provide Ukraine who fled the rights war to stay and work in block 27 countries for up to three years, the Senior EU and French officials, thanked volunteers on the border to help those who came.
At least 300,000 Ukrainian refugees have entered the EU so far, and the block needs to prepare millions again, they said. Polish EU members, Romania, Slovakia and Hungary have land limits with Ukraine.
“It is our duty to take those who fled the war,” French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin told France 2 TV on Monday, said the UE Minister of Home Affairs on Sunday commissioned the European Commission by preparing their protection.
The ministers will meet again on Thursday to approve details.
Temporary UE protection direction, compiled after the 1990s in the Balkans, but never used so far, providing the same level of protection, for one to three years, in all EU countries, including residence permits, access to work, social welfare and care medical.
The European Union will also help member countries bordering Ukraine to overcome the entry of arrivals, the commissioner of UE home business Ylva Johansson said during a visit on Monday to the border intersection between Romania and Ukraine.
Volunteers and local authorities help Ukraine there “show solidarity in practice, showing that we are based on other values than (Russian President Vladimir) Putin and we are practicing these values,” he said.
Johansson has emphasized on Sunday that the exodus of Ukraine concerned all blocks, with many who escaped the war had moved from the Border countries of the EU to others who also had a large Ukrainian community, including Italy, Spain and Germany.
Citing UN estimates, Janez Lencric, European Commissioners for Humanitarian Assistance and Crisis Management, have said four million Ukrainians are expected to escape from the country as refugees, with more refugees in Ukraine.
With men from the age of military service prevented leaving Ukraine, most women and children arrive at the border in East Poland, Slovakia and Hungary and in North Romania and northeast.
“All EU member countries are ready to accept refugees from Ukraine,” German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said on Sunday.
“This is a strong response by Europe to terrible suffering that Putin is responsible for his criminal war from aggression: together, we stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine.”
