Switzerland is considering changes to temporary protection measures for Ukrainian refugees, including possible restrictions affecting military-aged men. The proposal is part of a broader review of the country’s special protection status, which currently allows tens of thousands of Ukrainians to live, work, and receive support while retaining freedom of movement. Swiss officials say consultations are underway, with a decision expected later this year. The debate comes as several European countries reassess refugee policies amid the ongoing war in Ukraine and concerns over military manpower. Discussions are also taking place within Europe regarding the status of conscription-age Ukrainian men living abroad.
