The European Commission, with Magnus Brunner, proposes to exclude Ukrainian men subject to military service from the EU temporary protection scheme while extending the measure for others until March 4, 2028.The decision follows Ukrainian martial law that bars men aged 23 to 60 from leaving, and it responds to requests from Kyiv and pressure from several EU member states concerned about integration and Ukraine's defence needs.Frontex data show nearly 1,000 illegal crossings this year, adult men account for 26.6% of refugees from
Ukraine in Europe, and national rules in
Denmark and support from
Alexander Dobrindt in
Germany underline divergent responses.
