US President Donald Trump said that Ukrainian refugees may be allowed to stay in the United States before the war. The journalist in the White House asked him.
I think so. Many people from Ukraine came to us, and we are working with them, ”Trump quotes the words“ support ”.
Earlier, in early March, Reuters said that the United States could withdraw the status of temporary protection against Ukrainian citizens who fled to the country from the war as part of the strengthening of the Trump migration policy. In the USA, according to Forbes in July 2025, more than 180 thousand Ukrainian refugees.
This statement was a surprise to many, especially taking into account the consistent rhetoric of the Trump administration and previous actions, which indicated a more limiting approach to immigration, namely for those who were granted temporary legal status under the programs initiated by the previous administration.
From the moment of entering the post in January 2025, the Trump administration actively overestimates, and in some cases completes the humanitarian programs that begin during Biden’s presidency.
The initiative for Ukraine (U4U), launched in April 2022, became a key route that allowed the sponsors living in the United States to bring Ukrainian citizens and their family to the United States for up to two years on the basis of humanitarian permission.
More than 240,000 Ukrainians used this program in search of a huge invasion of Russia. However, there is a high level of care between these refugees and their supporters. Earlier this year, the Trump administration considered the possibility of canceling temporary legal status for many Ukrainians, which potentially lead to their quick deportation.
Trump’s last statement also contradicts the adult efforts to limit the refugee reception program in the United States, which has undergone indefinite removal and strict changes in acceptance criteria.
It is still unknown how this concrete obligation to Ukrainians will be fulfilled and whether it indicates a wider softening of the administration of the immigration administration for other persons using humanitarian programs.
