The EU extended temporary protection for people fleeing Ukraine to March 2028, from March 2027, and said new applications from military-age men would no longer be approved, a change it said Kyiv requested. The Council of Europe's human rights commissioner criticised the restriction. Denmark tightened eligibility for Ukrainian men the day before.
