Oil prices climbed after Ukrainian officials said Russian forces attacked a nuclear plant on Friday. The UN Security Council will meet Monday to discuss the humanitarian situation in Ukraine. The French and Mexican missions to the UN are seeking the Council’s approval of a resolution calling for unhindered humanitarian access in Ukraine.
UNHCR welcomes EU decision to offer Temporary Protection to Refugees fleeing Ukraine. The decision also means that EU Member States may offer Temporary Protection to third country nationals with legal residence in Ukraine who are unable to return home, and to stateless people.
We encourage all EU Member States to take an inclusive approach and grant these groups Temporary Protection. The decision allows for responsibility-sharing among EU States for those with Temporary Protection Status. This will include cooperation on reception among EU Member States. UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, urges EU States to swiftly implement the Directive to continue to provide those fleeing the violence with much needed safety and protection – as the situation in the country continues to deteriorate and numbers of people fleeing continue to rise.
