We have thus accelerated humanitarian support and launched the temporary protection mechanism that allows Ukrainian citizens to be protected throughout the European continent.

That is why I will still convene in the Extraordinary JHA Council, so that all the European states can help," Gerald Darmanin said.At the same time, the French official appreciated the "incredible effort the Romanian people are making" and thanked the civil society involved in supporting the refugees in Ukraine.The Minister of Internal Affairs, Lucian Bode, and his French counterpart, Gerald Darmanin, paid a visit on Friday to the Siret Border Crossing Point, but also to the mobile camp of Ukrainian refugees set up in the Siret city of Suceava County.
