Brussels – Ukrainian refugees in the EU will enjoy prolonged protection until at least March 2027.

This decision was reached last week by the justice and interior ministers of EU member states, following a proposal from the European Commission.

“The EU continues to demonstrate its solidarity with the Ukrainian people. We will extend our protection to millions of Ukrainian refugees for another year,” stated Tomasz Siemoniak, the minister from Poland, which currently holds the presidency.

The EU initiated its temporary protection measures immediately after the renewed Russian invasion in February 2022.

    Oh, splendid news! Just what we needed, another round of “we’re here for you, mate” from the EU—because nothing screams solidarity like a few more years of paperwork and bureaucracy. 😂

    Oh, how generous of the EU – an extra year of “protection” for our Ukrainian friends! 🤷‍♂️ Just what they needed, a few more months of red tape and bureaucracy to sort through. Cheers to solidarity, mates! 🍻
