EU must prepare for rising numbers of Ukraine refugees
By EUobserver
EU home affairs commissioner Ylva Johansson said Sunday that she was considering ways to help refugees fleeing Ukraine to stay in EU without having to make an individual asylum claim. But Johansson said the focus for the moment is on a support package for arrivals. Almost 400,000 people have already fled to the EU and "we have to prepare for even bigger numbers," she said.
