EU interior ministers have unanimously agreed to put into action a 10-point plan to help Ukrainian refugees over the coming weeks, including improving transport hubs, safeguarding measures and anti-trafficking rules.

More than 3.8 million refugees have fled Ukraine, with the majority being hosted in Poland and other Eastern European countries.

On Monday, the countries hosting the most refugees asked for additional funding during an extraordinary meeting of EU interior ministers. Already, 800,000 Ukrainians have applied for 'temporary protection,' which means they will be able to access jobs, schooling and healthcare in their respective host countries.

Currently, those refugees register via different systems in each host county, but the ministers have agreed to create a trans-national registration process to help and encourage refugees to look further than the closest Eastern European countries. The EU will develop uniform guidance for the support and transfer of children, and EU-wide transport and information hubs.

An index will be created to assess which countries are shouldering the biggest burden, and which have the most capacity, and that will be used to try to steer refugees to the right places.

The 10-point plan will also help refugees move on to Canada, the U.S. and UK and other countries, should they wish to. Ministers say the number of new arrivals is falling, with 40,000 refugees arriving each day, but warn that 'many millions more' Ukrainians may seek refuge in the EU.
