Roughly 660,000 people have fled Ukraine, and countless others have taken shelter underground. Refugees from Ukraine do not need to go through the asylum procedure, and will receive immediate protection for up to three years in the European Union, German Minister of the Interior, Building and Community Nancy Faeser said on Wednesday.

"We provide help quickly and without bureaucracy. Refugees from Ukraine do not need to go through the asylum procedure. They receive immediate protection in the EU for up to three years," Faeser tweeted.

The minister went on to say that the refugees are provided with immediate access to health insurance and the labor market.
