The EU activated the temporary protection directive on March 4, 2022: it is aimed at helping Ukrainians who fled the country after the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion.
In particular, Ukrainian citizens who have registered for temporary protection in EU countries have residency rights, access to the labor market, as well as social welfare and medical assistance. For unaccompanied Ukrainian children and teenagers, there are legal guardianship and access to education.
