Brussels, Feb 24, (dpa/GNA) – The European Union has contingency plans with member states near Ukraine, to take in refugees displaced by Russia’s invasion, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said.
Von der Leyen said there are plans to “welcome and host immediately” refugees from Ukraine, as well as to support people internally displaced in the country.
The plans were made as part of wider preparations in the event of a Russian attack, she said, including steps to improve the bloc’s cybersecurity and diversify gas supplies.
