Hundreds of thousands of people have fled Ukraine so far, and the United
Nations expects more than 4 million others will leave the country and need
protection and assistance in the coming months. Those fleeing to
neighbouring countries, mostly women and children, have been met with an
impressive voluntary and government mobilisation to answer immediate needs.

Similarly, European Union (EU) policymakers are organising an unprecedented
response, including considering the first-ever activation of the Temporary
Protection Directive that would provide immediate protection and rights,
reduce pressures on national asylum systems, and enhance responsibility
sharing. Questions remain, however, about how the directive would work in
practise and how quickly it could be rolled out, in particular as European
asylum agencies and migration authorities face a range of operational
issues for the first time. They will need to set up a new process to
register people, but also organise which agencies (including EU ones) and
which funding mechanisms will be mobilised to ensure adequate reception and
emergency assistance.

In the medium term, populations fleeing Ukraine will need access to
affordable housing, education, the labour market, and health care. How can
European countries with tight housing markets and overburdened health-care
systems, yet simultaneously pressing labour shortages, plan for the more
medium- and long-term needs of those displaced by the war? And how can
Ukrainian diasporas be mobilised effectively in the response without being
overburdened with untenable demands?

This MPI Europe webinar will feature expert views on the possible
implementation of the Temporary Protection Directive, prospects for the
integration of displaced populations, and lessons from the 2015-2016
refugee crisis that could apply in the current context.
