  2. Following Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, the EU responded rapidly and showed solidarity in action by helping people in need.

    This included direct humanitarian aid, emergency civil protection assistance, support at the border, as well as granting protection to those fleeing the war and entering the EU.

    For the first time in its history, the European Union activated the Temporary Protection Directive setting the legal rules to help manage the mass arrival of people.

    In parallel, the European Commission quickly began to coordinate with EU countries to gather information about the situation on the ground and to prevent trafficking in human beings.

    DG HOME coordinates the Solidarity Platform, which brings together EU countries, international partners, and EU agencies to ensure the implementation of the Temporary Protection Directive.

    The EU Migration Preparedness and Crisis Blueprint collects important information, such as the arrivals of refugees, to properly stir migration management response.

  5. I’ve been in Sumy all this time. for a while there was no internet, and now I’m just scared of such numbers. outside the window you can hear the voices of children on the playground. the horde seeks to destroy Ukrainians as such.
