Europe's Ukraine response reveals migration policy bias. Non-European refugees face deadly sea crossings and violent border control like in Melilla, despite fleeing danger. The war in Ukraine has exposed the double standards of European migration laws applied to women, children and men of different nationalities, mainly non-European. Non-European migrants seek international protection because their lives are in danger. Thousands die at sea because they lack safe routes or encounter cruel border control, as in Melilla, where they die violently at the hands of Spanish and Moroccan authorities.
