EU, proposes extension of temporary protection for displaced persons from Ukraine
In early June 2025, the European Commission proposed extending temporary protection for people fleeing Russian aggression against Ukraine until 4 March 2027. This is to provide beneficiaries of temporary protection and Member States with the necessary legal certainty, ensuring that the same standards of protection continue to apply across the EU.
To offer a more stable and lasting perspective beyond temporary protection, the Commission also proposed a series of measures to prepare for a coordinated transition out of temporary protection, through a Council recommendation.
The Council recommendation outlines measures to support beneficiaries of temporary protection, including promoting integration in host countries and facilitating smooth return to Ukraine. This will be achieved through initiatives such as voluntary return programmes, exploratory visits and information centres providing guidance on integration and return options. The Commission will also appoint a special envoy to support Member States in this process and ensure coordination with the Ukrainian authorities.
It is now up to the Council to formally adopt the proposal to extend temporary protection for one year and to approve the recommendation proposed by the Commission.
Since the start of Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, over 4.3 million people have fled the conflict and found safety, shelter and opportunities across the EU.
