Regional peculiarities of political relations in the EU countries aimed at assisting migrant refugees from the war in Ukraine in 2022-2025

Abstract

The article analyzes the political relations of the host EU countries during the period of the spontaneous influx of migrants-refugees from the war in Ukraine, which have their own regional characteristics and are determined by different levels of the vertical-horizontal structure of the pan-European political system.They are protected by a set of EU institutions, treaties and mechanisms that ensure stability, peace and protection from potential threats on the European continent as a result of the consultative cooperation of the European Commission, the European Parliament, the Council of the EU, the Committee of the Regions and other public authorities of the EU member states. One of these threats was the Russian aggression in Ukraine, which resulted in the forced migration of Ukrainians abroad to save their lives in the war. The spontaneous and massive arrival of refugee migrants from the war in Ukraine in 2022-2025 affected the political relations of the EU host countries as a type of social relations. The reason for their emergence was the migration of refugees from the war from Ukraine in the context of Russian aggression. The reason for such relations is the attempts of the EU host countries to maintain the stability of their political system under the pressure of an unpredictable influx of Ukrainian refugees from the war, which could have created chaos and tension in the work of the entire EU political system. Their content is embedded in a general system of joint political activities with political relations in various forms in the EU host countries aimed at accepting, accommodating and providing social assistance to war refugees from Ukraine. The process of implementing these political relations involves a sequence of political events caused by the circumstances of the influx of refugee migrants from the war from Ukraine to the EU host countries. It resulted in an immense targeted socio-political activity with various forms of political relations: cooperation, consensus, compromise, consolidation of political forces (state structures, political and public organisations and citizens of the EU host countries) on the reception, accommodation and social assistance to migrant refugees from the war in Ukraine by the EU host countries in 2022-2025.
