EU Member States' ministers agree to temporary protection for those fleeing the invasion of Ukraine. For more details see my blog post (pinned tweet). I will update it when the text of the Council decision is available.

It's not officially published yet, but here's the scope of who's covered by the temporary protection decision as agreed by the Council - reduced as compared to the Commission proposal. 
Here's the Commission proposal for the sake of comparison
Also Member States agreed on this statement. Translated from legalese it means that if Ukrainians/those with refugee status from Ukraine move between Member States, the Member States they move to will *not*, in principle, ask the Member States which gave them TP to take them back
This is a complete reversal of the principle of the Dublin rules which EU countries have applied for 30 years (at least while temporary protection applies)
