According to the United Nations, Europe is currently facing the fastest-growing refugee crisis since World War II. According to unHCR statistics, as of the 6th, more than 1.5 million refugees have fled Ukraine.

German Chancellor Schoerz spoke highly of Europe's openness toward refugees after concluding talks with European Commission President von der Leyen on March 6. But the German capital, Berlin, is already somewhat overwhelmed by the influx of refugees.

The German Federal Ministry of the Interior said on March 6 local time that the number of Ukrainian refugees seeking asylum in Germany has increased significantly again. As of that day, the Federal Police had registered 37,786 Ukrainian refugees, an increase of about 10,000 from the previous day. At the same time, a spokesman for the Interior Ministry reiterated that due to the lack of border controls, the federal police data is not complete, and the number of Ukrainian refugees actually entering Germany is significantly higher.

In addition, Berlin Mayor Geiffey issued an urgent appeal, saying that Berlin was "on the verge of load limits". Now more than 10,000 people arrive in Berlin every day, which is a huge challenge, she said. The City of Berlin is trying to overcome the difficulties in a different way. Geoffe asked the other federal states to be prepared to assist and admit refugees, because Berlin alone could not accomplish the task on its own, which was getting closer and closer to its limits and could only be done by solidarity.
