Proposal to Extend the Temporary Protection Directive until March 4, 2027, for Refugees from Ukraine

The Russian invasion of Ukraine is not over yet. It is important that refugees from Ukraine can continue to rely on our support. Therefore, the European Commission proposed on June 4, 2025, to extend the Temporary Protection Directive (TPD) by one year until March 4, 2027.

The European ministers of Justice and Home Affairs have today agreed to the proposal during a meeting in Luxembourg. The formal decision-making in the Council of the European Union is expected to follow at the end of June.

When millions of people fled Ukraine from the Russian invasion, the Council of the European Union activated the TPD on March 4, 2022. This gives refugees from Ukraine temporary rights to shelter, medical care, work, and education in all EU member states. It also provides the opportunity to work.
