Poland’s Mariusz Kamiński, Germany’s Nancy Faeser and France’s Gérald Darmanin met in the southeastern Polish city of Rzeszów, in a three-way format known as the Weimar Triangle, the state PAP news agency reported.
The ministers also visited the Polish border crossing with Ukraine in Korczowa.
At a joint news conference afterwards, Kamiński said that the European Union was opening its borders “to people in need, people running away from bombs and Russian rockets, to the victims of the brutal aggression of [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s regime.”
He added that he and fellow EU interior ministers would work together “to allow war refugees from Ukraine to travel freely through Europe.”
Kamiński announced that together with Faeser and Darmanin, he had set up an informal taskforce that will also include interior ministers from other EU countries, to better cope with “the wave of war refugees in Europe.”
Thursday is day fifteen of the Russian assault on Ukraine, which began on February 24.
Poland on Thursday reported it had accepted 1,43 million people fleeing the Russian invasion.
