Should Europe, which is united against the Russian invasion in Ukraine, shelter Russians fleeing mobilisation?
The discussion group, as always will have a meeting, on the last Friday of the month, the 25 of November and this time it is on the subject of Russian refugees.
Discussions about a common EU approach are ongoing.

Political emigrants entering on Schengen visas become illegal immigrants after 90 days if they do not
submit an application for asylum.
Amnesty International about EU discussion: Humanitarian visas granting temporary residence and work
permits?
Several EU countries have now suspended granting visas to Russian citizens, complicating their exit
from Russia. Some countries have allowed temporary stays without a visa.
Which approach is better? What is right?
We will discuss it and, probably, much more.
