JHA Agencies' Contribution to EU Solidarity with Ukraine: 2023 Joint Paper

Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified military aggression against Ukraine, which started on 24 February 2022, triggered a firm and overarching political response by the European Union. Actions in the justice and home affairs policy field form integral parts of a successful and efficient response. The nine EU Agencies cooperating within the Justice and Home Affairs Agencies’ Network (JHAAN), of which Europol is a member, play a vital role in this process. They do so by contributing to the implementation of political decisions made at the European level, assisting Member States and other countries, and providing support to people affected by the war, in particular persons displaced from Ukraine.

This joint paper describes the work carried out by the JHAAN to support Ukrainian authorities, with each agency’s mandate covered in detail. Through collaboration and solidarity, the network members remain committed to providing long-term support for Ukraine for as long as is needed.

Details of the support provided by Europol to Ukrainian authorities can also be found on the agency’s website.
