He emphasized that Italy cannot be left alone to handle the challenge and stressed the need for a joint approach among EU Member States.

Scholz also mentioned that Germany has taken in a large number of refugees from Ukraine and other countries.

The EU interior ministers were meeting in Luxembourg to discuss a revision of the bloc's rules for more equally sharing asylum seekers and migrants, but the outcome was uncertain.
