European Commission has proposed extending temporary protection for people fleeing Ukraine for an additional year until 4 March 2028. The move is intended to provide legal certainty and stability as the war continues, while aligning protection with Ukraine’s overall defence capacity. Under the proposal, temporary protection will not be granted to newcomers who are authorized by Ukrainian authorities to leave Ukraine for military reasons. Member States are urged to prepare for a coordinated transition out of temporary protection, including pathways to longer‑term residence or return to Ukraine when conditions allow. The Commission will collaborate with Member States and Ukrainian authorities to launch a Voluntary Return and Recovery Programme Pilot that offers job, housing and education support. The Special Envoy for Ukrainians in the EU will continue engagement on the issue. The proposal now awaits Council approval.
