“In less than two months … we've seen about a quarter of Ukraine's population, more than 12 million people in total, including five million refugees, but also 7.1 million inside the country, have been forced to flee their homes, so this is a staggering amount of people.”

“We are not living in a comfortable West, we are living in the midst of difficulties, not just now but throughout our history, so we are able to tell the difference between who is a migrant and who is a refugee. Migrants are stopped. Refugees can get all the help. We're prepared to take care of them [Ukrainians], and we'll be able to rise to the challenge quickly and efficiently.”

“His [Éric Zemmour] words are extremely harsh towards minorities, immigrants, refugees, because there is a political continuum. His ideology carries him and makes him a man of the far-right.”

“We face serious tasks in the Afghan direction, especially after the Americans have pulled out from that country. The developments in Afghanistan prompt the need for additional measures to ensure Russia's security on the southern frontiers and provide assistance to Central Asian states as our allies, which perceive Russia as a guarantor of stability in the region. It is necessary to continue working in this mode, taking measures to prevent uncontrolled flows of refugees and prevent the infiltration of terrorists and other criminal elements through our border.”

“In 2015, it was the first time the refugee policy was discussed at a national level in Poland. Right-wing groups began fuelling an anti-immigrant sentiment by referring to migrants as terrorists who would destabilise Poland and the EU. But people who are afraid of refugees often don't know anything about them. A lot of people living in this border zone are old and lived through the Second World War. They know what it's like to be a refugee. They initially kept their doors open to help those stranded in the forest, but Polish border guards have ordered them not to do so.”

“With von der Leyen calling it a hybrid attack, I think that's exactly what Lukashenko was hoping for. Even though we are talking about a few refugees and migrants trying to get access to Europe, the language is all about war stemming from political panic. The moment you start referring to refugees and migrants as bargaining chips and as weapons of people being instrumentalised, it strips away their agency and dehumanises people.”

“What we see in Minsk, this inhumane system of using refugees as tools to exert pressure on the European Union, has not improved but has got worse over the last days. We will toughen sanctions on individuals who are involved in this human trafficking, and we will have to talk about the fact that severe economic sanctions are inevitable ... We will have to tackle the airlines, too.”

“Civilians in Tigray have been subjected to brutal violence and suffering. The joint investigation team has covered numerous violations and abuses including unlawful killings and extrajudicial executions, torture, sexual and gender-based violence, violations against refugees and forced displacement of civilians. It is vital that all parties heed the repeated calls to end hostilities.”

“These are Syrian nationals, and it's the government's responsibility to ensure their security. We are engaging with the government to highlight refugees' concerns such as their safety, property rights and livelihoods. We also need the international community to help as well, to provide much-needed resources so that people can also fix their damaged homes, have running water, health care and send their children to school. Sustainable returns require collaboration from all concerned parties. We must also ensure robust support to refugees and hosting countries.”

“The Greek government has emerged with the notion of refugees and migrants as a 'hybrid threat', while testimonies of the inhuman practice of pushbacks against vulnerable people fleeing war and harsh circumstances have increased. It is certain that in the near future Greece will receive refugee flows from Afghanistan. The stand we take towards them is crucial and will define the identity of the Greek government on the aspect of human rights.”

“A more restrictive framework has been created in relation to reception conditions and asylum procedures in Greece. The legislative framework excludes various nationalities from refugee status determination procedures, unilaterally claiming Turkey is a safe third country for them, while reception conditions for those arriving in Greek islands remain far below European standards. On the other hand, the announcement of closed reception centres is proof of the hostile environment for refugees and asylum seekers.”

“One is the question of the people who helped within the European External Action Service and our soldiers in NATO, to whom we have a certain obligation. The other aspect is the refugees who are burdening the entire international community. Of course, first of all, it is in our interest for refugees to be deployed to the neighbouring countries of Afghanistan, where they can be provided with their human rights and security. What is certain is that Croatia will oppose illegal migration. We do not want 2015 to happen again. The issue of refugees must be defined at a general level because it is the responsibility of the international community.”
