Summary/Abstract: Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has prompted many of the latter country’s citizens to seek a safe haven in EU territory. The massive influx of refugees is a challenge for the reception systems of the countries bordering Ukraine and a test of pan-European solidarity. It requires ad hoc mobilisation, but also a return to the discussion on broad reform of the EU’s migration and asylum policy.
