Greece has announced its willingness to host Ukrainian refugees as the Russian invasion of the country continues, greekcitytimes.com reports.
“Greece is open to hosting Ukrainian refugees, we consider it our obligation to take part in this humanitarian chain,” stressed Migration and Asylum Minister Notis Mitarachi while speaking to the public broadcaster ERT on Monday.
Mitarachi noted that “it should become obligatory for all EU member-states to contribute to the redistribution of the flows from Ukraine.”
“Just as we asked for this when we faced the crisis with Turkey, it is a matter of principle to also say this now, when we must support the countries of Eastern Europe,” he added.
