The EU Commission has new rules. The rules are for men from Ukraine. These men are 23 to 60 years old. These men are wehr-fAhigen. This means they are fit for the army.
Refugees from Ukraine get fast help in the EU. They do not need a long form. This is the vor-fAhigen Schutz. The EU wants to keep this until 2028.
But this is not for all men now. Men need a permit to leave their country. Without a permit they get no automatic protection. These men must apply for a formal Asyl-Antrag. The review of the Asyl-Antrag takes a long time.
Ukraine asks for this change. The country needs soldiers for the war. Ukraine forbids travel for these men. But fathers with 3 children can leave.
The new rules are only for new refugees. People already in the EU keep their status. Magnus Brunner works for the EU Commission. He says: Ukraine needs help for its safety.
