The Council today took a firm and decisive stance on the decisions taken on the various sanctions against Russia, fully supporting them and condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
In addition to what has been decided in previous days, the Council of Interior Ministers today decided to activate a specific Directive to provide temporary protection to Ukrainians who would like to move from Ukraine and, of course, expressed our full support for those countries neighbouring Ukraine which are currently receiving the greatest burden of Ukrainian refugees.
Cyprus asked and demanded the implementation of compulsory relocation by these countries if and when they request it, so that there is real solidarity towards the countries that are currently receiving this migratory burden.
Poland, which is currently receiving the greatest burden, precisely needs this support and if we are asked, our position is that compulsory relocation should be provided and not voluntary.
