The EU Council's press service reported the information.

Today's decision to extend does not change the March 2022 decision on the categories of persons covered by temporary protection.

The statement says that temporary protection provides immediate and collective protection to a large group of displaced persons who arrive in the EU and are unable to return to their country of origin. People enjoying temporary protection have the same rights throughout the EU.

These rights include:

  • residence;
  • access to the labor market and housing;
  • medical assistance;
  • social welware assistance;
  • access to education for children.

The EU Ttemporary protection law sets minimum standards for protection. The actual level of assistance may vary from one EU member state to another.

  • On June 24, media reported that Germany does not intend to deport Ukrainian refugees who are not working for various reasons.
