Less than a year before the current decision on the temporary protection of refugees from Ukraine expires, the situation remains complicated. At present, everything points to a further extension in the fall. The Commission would submit the extension together with a revised implementing regulation in accordance with the TPD and the member states would adopt it. However, this will not be the case until late summer at the earliest when the new Commission is in office. This means uncertainty – for the Member States, the competent authorities and Ukrainians.
