German Interior Minister Nancy Fezer has assured that her country will receive refugees from Ukraine regardless of their nationality.
“We want to save lives. This does not depend on the passport “, stressed Mrs. Feser, whose statements are published in today’s issue of the German tabloid Bild am Sonntag.
“The vast majority of people who have left Ukraine are Ukrainians. “Citizens of other countries, who had a permanent residence permit in Ukraine, continue to have this status for us,” the SPD politician explained. “These people” will not have to go through complicated asylum procedures, “he said.
For Nancy Feser, the current cooperation of EU member states to offer assistance to refugees who fled to escape the conflict in Ukraine is “historic”.
In an unprecedented unanimous decision, the European Union’s interior ministers adopted emergency measures and announced that they would immediately offer protection to refugees from Ukraine. In principle, the protection of these people will last one year; it can be extended for another two, depending on the developments.
