Prime Minister Sheikh Hasinahas urged the European Union (EU) leaders to take measures to end the Russia-Ukraine war as the entire world has been suffering from it.

She made the urge when a five-member delegation of the EU led by its Commissioner for Home Affairs YIva Johansson paid a call on her at her office on Thursday.

PM's Press Secretary Ihsanul Karim briefed the newsmen after the meeting.

During the meeting, the issues of migration including Rohingya and climate change were prominently discussed.

The prime minister said, "The huge number of forcibly displaced Rohingyas is a big burden for Bangladesh and their number is increasing everyday with the born of the new babies."

The EU delegation leader YIva Johansson said her union would continue its support to Bangladesh on Rohingya issue.

She said the EU is currently hosting 4.5 million Ukrainian refugees.
