Through this cooperation, Ukraine and the EMN aim to share information and knowledge on migration for the benefit of efficient migration policies in Ukraine and other European countries. In the context of the current Ukraine crisis, an example would be promoting the smooth inclusion of Ukrainian children in European schools. Within the EMN, Ukraine will hold observer status, just as Norway, Georgia and Moldova. The EMN welcomes Ukraine within the European network and looks forward to a fruitful cooperation.
