Solidarity is “alive and kicking in the EU” and people receiving Ukrainian refugees “opened their homes and their hearts en masse”. They’re some of the findings of a report on the integration in the EU of people fleeing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The report, which was launched today, was spearheaded by former Dutch Deputy Prime Minister, Lodewijk Asscher.
