Online Conference: 'Ensuring the wellbeing of children displaced from Ukraine residing in the EU'

Description

The event aims to facilitate synergies in addressing the imminent problems and threats that children displaced from Ukraine are facing. In this context, the State Migration Service (SMS UA) would like to present the ongoing operations and services of the national Passport Service, which ensures the swift issuance of ID cards and passports to Ukrainian nationals in Ukraine and Poland.

The Online Conference provides for an open intergovernmental exchange that shall ultimately result in the identification of joint steps forward and practical cooperation between the SMS UA and the competent authorities of EU MS. The concrete concerns, needs and challenges on both sides shall be tackled in a joint manner. The possible opening of UA SMS branch offices in EU MS could provide effective assistance to the competent authorities of the host countries as well as Ukrainians in need.
