- Description
- MEPs discuss with the European Council and Commission how to address the urgent concerns surrounding Ukrainian children being forcibly deported to Russia.
Since Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine began in February 2022, international organisations have documented a wide range of serious human rights violations affecting children. Reports of children forcibly deported or displaced by Russian authorities, combined in many cases with them being subjected to re-education programmes and forced adoption, have raised concern.
According to the Children of War initiative of the Ukrainian National Information Bureau (NIB), more than 19 500 children have been deported or forcibly displaced, and only 388 have been returned.

- Description
- Migration is one of the main concerns for Europeans nowadays. In this interview, the chair of Parliament’s home affairs committee, Juan Fernando López Aguilar, insists that it should not be seen as a threat, but as a fact that requires a joint approach by all EU countries.
As the EU finalises the adoption of new rules to improve migration and asylum management, López Aguilar says that the so-called migration package is “a step forward”, but “it will not be the end of the story”.
“There will be some other pending issues which are not comprehended in the package and are extremely relevant,” such as cracking down on the business model of smugglers and the trafficking of human beings, and establishing a European search and rescue framework, he said.
