Emotional end to likely my last Council. Standing ovation, generous words. But the best send-off is the acclaim for all we've been able to do together for Europe on Migration & Security: Migration Pact, protecting Ukrainians, fighting crime, new Schengen members and so much more

This day of ongoing, horrific aggression from Putin and the terrible suffering of the Ukrainian people, I am proud of the unanimous decision of the EU to offer immediate protection to those fleeing. Press conference with @GDarmanin https://t.co/T7kohxkxKy
Historic decision in #JHA right now; the EU will give temporary protection to those fleeing the war in 🇺🇦 . The EU stands united to save lives! @GDarmanin
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has affected Ukrainians and non-citizens in many devastating ways. Africans seeking evacuation are our friends and need to have equal opportunities to return to their home countries safely. Ukraine’s government spares no effort to solve the problem.
Europe stands by those in need of protection.
All those fleeing Putin’s bombs are welcome in Europe.
We will provide protection to those seeking shelter and we will help those looking for a safe way home.
Our proposal to support people fleeing the war in Ukraine ↓
Today @EU_Commission is proposing to activate the Temporary Protection Directive to assist people fleeing the war in Ukraine.
This is complemented by operational guidelines to help EU Member States' border guards manage arrivals at the borders with Ukraine.
🇪🇺 #StandWithUkraine
I'm proud of how the EU and Member States are giving immediate support to those coming from the horrific threats of war.
See just issued @EU_Commission proposal for temporary protection for people fleeing war in Ukraine + guidelines for border checks 👇

Every life lost at sea is a tragedy, and deadly travels must be prevented.
That is why I have highlighted the issue in the context of a ‘Europeanised’ migration management system.

.@YlvaJohansson , kommissionär med ansvar för inrikes frågor, sammanfattar vad EU gör i coronakrisen.
"Det är otroligt mycket värme och solidaritet och att vi får se människor och medlemsländer som ställer upp för varandra. Det vi behöver i tider av kris är mer EU, inte mindre."
Join me at 11am for a conversation with @YlvaJohansson , European Commissioner for Home Affairs. We'll discuss the EU response to #Covid_19 , with a focus on internal security, cyber crime and migration.
To the 8 EU member states who have stepped up to take migrant children from the #Greek Islands: thank you for your solidarity. The #COVID19 health screenings can be done by Member States in #Greece or on arrival. Numbers are between 12 and 300 per country. Must be done quickly.
Please read my interview with @derspiegel “we will protect the migrants”.
Migrants have also to be protected from #coronavirus. I talk about how EU support should allow Member States to move vulnerable people out of camps into safer accommodation.
