Stefanishyna said that “the principled position is that Ukrainian citizens in the EU should have the right to temporary protection.”
The Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Olga Stefanishyna refuted the information spread by some media that Kyiv is cooperating with Brussels on the return of Ukrainians temporarily residing in the territory of European member states Union within the framework of the EU’s temporary protection mechanism. He said this in Brussels on January 25, reports say Interfax-Ukraine.
“It is certainly not a direct position of Ukraine that Ukrainians should return, and therefore any aid to them (from the EU) should be reduced. This is absolutely not the case. The principled position for we are the citizens of Ukraine who in the European Union should have the right to temporary protection,” he said.
Stefanishyna added that “the opportunity to have temporary protection should remain under any conditions, both in 2025 and after, and even in the event of a cessation of hostilities.”
“This possibility must remain. Another issue is financial payments. Unfortunately, the war continues. We must be determined by the social guarantees that citizens have in every country. But this is not radical communication, not negative. This dialogue (Ukraine and the EU) ) continues “, he explained.
Let’s remember that the media wrote that Ukraine is negotiating with the European Union to establish EU migration rules that will help ensure the return of more Ukrainians home by 2025.
Earlier it was reported that Ukraine has started negotiations with the EU on the return of refugees.
