This was reported by the Swiss government.
"The situation in Ukraine is not expected to change in the foreseeable future. The Federal Council therefore decided at its meeting on 1 November not to lift the protection status S for Ukrainian refugees before 4 March 2025," the statement said.The Swiss government has also set a target for labour market integration, planning to employ 40% of people with S protection status who are able to work by the end of next year.
As of the end of October 2023, about 66,000 Ukrainians had active S status in Switzerland. The S protection status will be valid until the government cancels it. A prerequisite for cancellation is the sustainable stabilization of the situation in Ukraine.
