💥Johansson made a bold statement: Brussels is talking about protecting Ukrainians until 2028.
Ukrainians in Europe, EU temporary protection, extension of protection until 2028, what will happen after 2027, new rules for Ukrainians in Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic—the main topic of today's episode.
On May 13, 2026, a major episode of the DW podcast "You are calling Brussels" aired in Brussels. In it, EU Special Representative for Ukrainians Ylva Johansson stated for the first time so bluntly that the European Commission would likely propose extending temporary protection for Ukrainians for another year—until March 2028.
In this episode, we examine:
— Is the EU really preparing to extend protection until 2028?
— What will happen after March 2027?
— Why are Ukrainians increasingly being pushed toward other statuses?
— Are restrictions for men of mobilization age being discussed?
— Will Ukrainian data be shared with Kyiv? — Why Europe is no longer talking about temporary stay, but about a long-term reality for millions of Ukrainians.
Also in this issue:
— Latest Eurostat data on the number of Ukrainians in the EU;
— Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, and the situation with temporary protection;
— Research by the Center for Economic Strategy on the return of Ukrainians;
— Statements by Ylva Johansson on the future of Ukrainians in Europe;
— Voluntary return and restoration programs for Ukraine.
