Temporary Protection for Ukrainians Extended to 2027
- EU countries extended temporary protection for Ukrainian refugees by one year, allowing their stay until 4 March 2027 across the 27-nation bloc.
- The extension follows the original protection granted after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, with the measure initially set to expire on 4 March 2026.
- Since March 2022, the EU has sheltered over 4 million Ukrainians, with largest communities in Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic, preserving full residence and social rights.
- Polish Interior Minister Tomasz Siemoniak highlighted ongoing EU solidarity while noting the Polish presidency's role in starting discussions on phasing out protection after a just peace and working on coordinated return strategies.
- The extension maintains current rights without changes and signals continued support, while the EU commission prepares an exit strategy acknowledging that temporary protection remains provisional amid ongoing conflict.
