The story so far
The EU Commission has proposed a plan to prolong temporary protection for Ukrainians until 2028. However, this extension would exclude new arrivals who are eligible for military service.
These restrictions specifically target men of fighting age. Coverage from Reuters, AP News, and Politico emphasizes the proposal to limit the refugee scheme for those of military age.
The Kyiv Independent reports that these restrictions are being implemented at the request of Kyiv. Future developments will depend on the formalization of the EU Commission's proposal to limit protections for military-age men while extending the broader scheme through 2028.
