The European Commission has proposed extending temporary protection for Ukrainians in the EU until March 4, 2027. Announced on June 4, 2025, this proposal aims to provide legal certainty and maintain consistent protection standards across EU Member States for those fleeing Russia’s aggression against Ukraine.
Beyond extending protection, the Commission suggests measures to facilitate integration into host countries and support voluntary return to Ukraine. Initiatives include information hubs, exploratory visits, and coordinated transition programs. A Special Envoy will be appointed to ensure close collaboration with Member States and Ukrainian authorities.
