Speaking in an interview with German publisher Funke Mediengruppe, Weber said that the European Union must boost border control both at sea and on land, and, if needed, barriers should be built to make it easier to control the number of arriving migrants. Weber warned that if the EU does not take action now, a new migrant crisis will be inevitable. Europe has been experiencing a major migrant crisis since 2015 due to the influx of thousands of migrants and refugees from countries in the Middle East and North Africa. Migrants have been trying to reach EU states using various routes, including via Italy, Greece, Turkey and the Balkans. The Ukraine conflict has further exacerbated the situation, pushing millions to flee the country. According to the United Nations, over 7.8 million refugees from Ukraine had been staying in Europe as of November 1.
