EU interior ministers Monday approved a plan for better coordination with respect to Ukrainian war refugees. The EU Commissioner for home affairs, Ylva Johansson, has announced that so far 3.8 million people, especially women, children and elderly people, have fled Ukraine. Member states requested additional funding from the Commission to manage the inflows, with the Commission announcing additional aid is already being prepared. EU interior ministers also agreed to launch a EU-wide platform for the registration of refugees arriving in the Union and applying for temporary protection. They also put together unified rules for receiving and supporting children, including unaccompanied minors, and a plan against human trafficking. In this context, Romania continues to support Ukrainian refugees and the authorities in that country. Since the start of the war, over 570,000 Ukrainian nationals have entered Romania. Most of them only transited the country, while around 4,300 applied for asylum in Romania.
