Migration is dominating Thursday's European Union summit in Brussels, with Poland calling for a united EU stance against Russia and Belarus, accusing them of using migrants as a weapon. Poland is also pushing for stricter laws on deporting irregular migrants, while the Netherlands mulls a controversial plan to send asylum-seekers to Uganda.
The summit will cover a range of topics, including Ukraine, the Middle East, competitiveness, and climate change. But migration, particularly how to handle arrivals coming by land from the east and by sea from the south, is expected to take centre stage.
