The European Union is discussing the possibility of amending the terms of the temporary protection program for Ukrainian citizens, specifically for men of military age. According to the European Commissioner for Home Affairs and Migration, the initiative came from the Ukrainian side.
Magnus Brunner stated this during a press conference.
According to him, EU countries generally support extending the temporary protection mechanism for Ukrainians until 2028. At the same time, possible changes to the program are being considered during the discussions, including the exclusion of men aged 23 to 60.
“And this is what the Ukrainians are asking us for,” Brunner noted.
The European Commissioner reported that this issue has already been discussed with the countries that have accepted the largest number of Ukrainian refugees. Specifically, these include the Czech Republic , Poland , Germany , the Baltic states, and Austria .
Brunner said a final decision on possible changes to the temporary protection program could be made in the coming weeks.
