Today a delegation of Socialists and Democrats led by its president, Iratxe García, travelled to the Hungarian region of Lónya, bordering Ukraine. S&D MEPs met with NGOs, including the Red Cross, to express their support and urgently demand more EU action.
According to UN figures, more than one million people have already left Ukraine, and the influx will only increase in the coming days. The S&D Group urges the Council to agree to trigger the Temporary Protection Directive.
