Ukrainian Refugees: Report from the Front Lines ([link removed])
Panel discussion featuring experts from both sides of the Atlantic
Streamed on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter

A panel discussion in Washington, D.C., on June 15 at 11 a.m. ET, sponsored jointly by the Center for Immigration Studies ([link removed]) (CIS) and the Hungarian Migration Research Institute ([link removed]) (MRI), will examine the challenges posed by the Ukrainian refugee crisis. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine unleashed a deluge of refugees on Europe comparable in size only to the massive displacement of people at the end of World War II. Front-line countries in Europe – Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Moldova, and Romania – opened their borders to those fleeing Ukraine, and the EU in an historic decision offered them temporary protection, including the right to work. The United States has focused on helping Ukrainians where they are in Europe, pledging up to $5 billion in humanitarian assistance. In addition, however, the Biden administration has pledged to take in 100,000 Ukrainians, granted Temporary Protected Status to those already in the U.S., and created
the “Unity for Ukraine” program to allow individuals to sponsor Ukrainians who don't want to stay in the EU.

As the war rages on, and a speedy return of refugees seems less and less likely, it is time to compare the policies enacted by stakeholders and explore the different challenges faced by front-line states and destination countries. To do this, researchers from Europe and the U.S. will join with a top official from Poland involved in that nation's response to the crisis.
