This Monday there were nearly 1.7 million refugees to flee Ukraine according to the latest official figures.

For Josep Borrell, the head of European diplomacy, Europe can expect to receive five million exiles if the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the bombardments of cities continue.

"If the bombings continue, if we continue to bomb the cities, indiscriminately, we can expect five million exiles," said the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy , during a meeting of European Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Development.

The reception of refugees already at the heart of the debates

In the early afternoon, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson defended his government's immigration policy, touting its "generosity" while taking on the controls that led to Ukrainian refugees being denied entry without visas. .

In parallel, the Polish government adopted on Monday a bill intended to legalize and facilitate the stay of Ukrainian refugees in Poland, a country which has already welcomed more than a million people fleeing the Russian invasion.
