On 24th February, Russia started the invasion of Ukraine. As a result of this military operation, substantial areas of the Ukrainian territory now constitute areas of war from which many persons are fleeing. By stepping up humanitarian assistance in Ukraine, the EU and its Member States protect people running from Ukraine. The EU has also reacted quickly and decisively to Russia’s aggression by adopting severe sanctions that will have massive consequences for Russia.
