The EU is discussing toughening protection conditions for Ukrainians after 2027 - Radio Liberty
The European Commission is preparing a reform of the temporary protection mechanism, which remains in force until March 2027. Options under consideration include restrictions based on region of origin, a separate approach for men of conscription age, and the introduction of a new status for the most vulnerable groups. The issue has been brought back to the table because the transition of Ukrainians to other forms of residence in the EU is proceeding too slowly, and an abrupt end to protection could overwhelm asylum systems. The European Commission plans to submit its final proposal in May.
