‼ Germany extends protection for Ukrainians until 2028, but tightens entry for men Temporary protection for Ukrainian refugees has been extended until March 4, 2028. This decision applies to those who have already received the relevant status. However, starting October 9, 2026, additional requirements will be introduced for Ukrainian men of draft age arriving for the first time. Now they must confirm that they have completed their military service or are exempt from it, and that they have a legal reason to leave Ukraine. Caravans: |.
