The EU foreign policy elite in the context of migration process: the case of Ukrainian refugees

Abstract

The article provides an analysis of the long-term difficult migration situation in the European Union in the era of a pandemic around the world. The main factors influencing the growth of migration flows are substantiated, namely, such reasons as the military-political situation, the example of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which contributed to the growth of Ukrainian refugees in European countries, destructive migration policy, shortcomings in the foreign policy of the European Union, economic problems of neighboring states. The article indicates the positions and decisions of the EU foreign policy elite on the issue of complex migration. Based on the analysis of the decisions made by the EU foreign policy elite, it can be argued that the migration situation at this stage is only the beginning of further reforms that should and will take place both in the migration system of the European Union and in the sphere of international relations.
