Lithuania to extend temporary protection for Ukrainians until 2027: details.
According to inkorr.com: The Ministry of the Interior of Lithuania plans to extend the temporary protection for Ukrainian refugees until March 2027. Currently, Ukrainians can stay in the country until March 2026, so the proposed changes will automatically extend this period for another year.
Minister's comment
'The general position of the European Union is to extend temporary protection, as the war is not over yet. This is a natural decision,' emphasized the Minister of the Interior of Lithuania, Vladislav Kondratovich.
This decision will simplify the process for Ukrainians and migration service workers, as 30 to 40 new applications for temporary status arrive daily.
Changes in Poland
At the same time, Poland plans to introduce a new digital platform for payments to Ukrainian refugees. Starting in February 2026, they will need to re-apply, providing information about their children's education and their employment. This innovation aims to optimize the payment system, but it is expected that the number of aid recipients may temporarily decrease by about 10%.
In continuation of the topic, the changes in the legislation of Lithuania and Poland demonstrate the efforts of both countries to support Ukrainian refugees amid the war events. The development of the situation in Europe highlights the importance of open borders and humanitarian aid for those affected by the conflict.Read also
