Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified military aggression against Ukraine, which started at a full scale on 24 February 2022, triggered a firm and comprehensive political response by the European Union. Actions in the Justice and Home Affairs (JHA) domain are integral to a successful and efficient response. The nine EU agencies cooperating within the Justice and Home Affairs Agencies Network (JHAAN) play a vital role in this process by contributing to the implementation of political decisions made at the European level, assisting EU Member States and third countries, and providing support to people affected by the war, in particular persons displaced from Ukraine.

The current overview of the response of JHA Agencies was prepared by the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) Presidency of the JHAAN (2025) and covers the reporting period from February 2024 to February 2025. The Joint Paper is subject to regular updates as long as the situation persists, offering insight into ongoing efforts and evolving strategies. The three previous editions are available on our website.
