EU Commissioner for Internal Affairs and Migration Magnus Brunner talks to media before an EU Home Affairs Ministers meeting on June 4, 2026 in Luxembourg.
“That’s also what the Ukrainians want us to do,” said Migration Commissioner Magnus Brunner.
LUXEMBOURG — There is “strong support” among EU home affairs ministers to exclude men who could be called up to the military from Europe’s temporary protection scheme for Ukrainian refugees, said Swedish Migration Minister Johan Forssell.
The temporary status scheme — under which more than 4 million people who fled Ukraine have been given the right to work, live and study in European countries — will expire in March 2027.
The directive has already been extended several times and preparations to prolong it once more are underway.
A proposal to exclude men aged 23 to 60, who may be conscripted, from the scheme is being discussed. »
