00:00The European Commission proposed on Friday to extend its temporary protection scheme for Ukrainian refugees until March 2028,
00:08while explicitly blocking newly arriving military-age men from obtaining the status.
00:14The policy shift announced by EU Home Affairs Commissioner Magnus Brunner aims to support Kiev's mobilization needs
00:20by excluding individuals aged 23 to 60 who leave Ukraine without legal military authorization.
00:27One addition, our proposal provides that temporary protection should not be granted to newly arriving persons
00:34who are not allowed to leave Ukraine because of their military obligations under Ukrainian law.
00:43And this is what Ukraine has asked us to do, and this is what we are doing.
00:50Exemptions will remain intact for individuals with severe disabilities,
00:54fathers caring for three or more children, and those deemed entirely unfit for combat duties.
01:00Adult men currently make up 26.6% of Ukrainian refugees living across Europe,
01:06but EU officials confirm that anyone who has already been granted status will not be stripped of their legal protections.
01:15The proposal must now be approved by a qualified majority, requiring at least 15 member states,
01:22representing 65% of the total European population, to vote in favor.
01:27Meanwhile, Denmark has bypassed the wider EU migration framework to already deploy a similar system,
01:33decreeing that incoming Ukrainian men will receive residence permits only if they can prove a formal military exemption.
