Ireland is ready to accept 500 Ukrainian refugees in Moldova. This was announced on March 15 by the head of the Irish Cabinet, Michol Martin.
He noted that the corresponding decision was made at a cabinet meeting dedicated to the special operation of the Russian Federation to protect the inhabitants of Donbass.
“We just had a cabinet meeting via video link, which was mainly devoted to the Ukrainian war and the unfolding crisis, the humanitarian crisis. We will receive these refugees towards the end of this week, and this is in addition to those who have already arrived,” Martin said.
The head of the Irish Cabinet said that Moldova is now under “huge pressure.”
Also, according to him, to date, Ireland has already received 6,646 refugees from Ukraine.
On March 14, it was reported that 1.8 million refugees from Ukraine had already arrived in Poland since the beginning of the special operation of the Russian Federation.
Earlier in the day, Polish Deputy Interior Minister Pavel Schefernaker said that Berlin had asked Warsaw to suspend trains carrying Ukrainian refugees to Germany. As he explained, the scale of forced migrants from Ukraine took the countries of Europe by surprise. The deputy minister noted that 28,000 people left Poland by train in three days.
On March 12, the French authorities reported that more than 10,000 Ukrainians had entered the country. Meanwhile, it was noted that the country can accept no more than 25 thousand people.
In addition, Moldovan Prime Minister Natalia Gavrilitsa announced the creation by Moldova and Romania of a “green corridor” for the evacuation of Ukrainian refugees to the European Union on March 5.
She stressed that many Ukrainian citizens who come to Moldova go to other states.
In mid-February, due to the aggravation of the situation in the Donbass as a result of shelling by the Ukrainian military, the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics announced a general mobilization and announced the evacuation of the civilian population to the Russian Federation.
On February 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree recognizing Moscow’s independence of the republics, as well as treaties of friendship, cooperation and mutual assistance. The documents were ratified the next day.
On February 24, he announced the start of a special operation to protect the civilian population of Donbass. As the press secretary of the head of state Dmitry Peskov clarified, the special operation has two goals – the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine. According to him, both of these aspects pose a threat to the Russian state and people.
