The extension of temporary protection for Ukrainian refugees in the European Union until March 2028 is reshaping their future plans. According to testimonies collected by Suspilne, the Ukrainian public media, these women live daily lives divided between concern for their homeland, still at war, and efforts to secure permanent residency within the EU.
This situation creates a dual dynamic: on one hand, a day-to-day existence marked by uncertainty and worry for Ukraine; on the other, a desire for long-term stability in Europe, with administrative steps taken to secure their status after the temporary protection ends.
