Ukrainian refugees coming to Netherlands by plane detained upon arrival

Kyiv, June 19 (UNI) Ukrainian refugees who arrive in the Netherlands by plane are being detained upon arrival for several days due to a new procedure applied by the Dutch Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND), the Dutch newspaper NRC reported.

Ukrainian refugees could previously get a place in a reception centre upon arrival in the Netherlands, but now the IND reportedly first determines whether they are eligible for admission to the country. As a result, Ukrainians arriving at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol are detained at the border for several days before the IND makes a decision.
