Summary of "Зміни з 1 січня. Що чекає українців за кордоном у 2025? Депортація, нові виплати, житло"
The video discusses significant changes that Ukrainian citizens living abroad will face starting January 1, 2025, as well as the broader implications of these changes on their lives and the support they receive.
Key Points
- Population of Ukrainians Abroad: Approximately 7.7 million Ukrainians are currently living abroad, with about 5.5 million in Europe. The Ukrainian government is actively engaging with foreign governments to facilitate the return of these citizens and encourage them to spend money in Ukraine.
- Temporary Protection Directive: The European Union has extended the Temporary Protection Directive until March 4, 2025, allowing Ukrainians to maintain their rights to residence, labor, medical assistance, and education. However, support programs will gradually adjust to new realities.
- Changes in Border Crossing Rules: New regulations will affect how Ukrainians travel abroad with vehicles. Starting January 1, 2025, drivers will need to obtain a Green Card insurance policy at least a day before crossing the border, and electronic Green Cards will be recognized across all participating countries.
- Financial Assistance Adjustments:
- Germany: Social benefits for Ukrainian refugees will be reduced, with a focus on motivating employment.
- Poland: New residence cards will be issued to eligible refugees, allowing them to live and work for three years.
- Latvia: Social assistance will increase, while the Czech Republic plans to introduce a long-term residence permit.
- Ireland's Approach: Social benefits have been reduced to encourage refugees to find work, leading to a significant decrease in the number of Ukrainians in state asylums.
- Pensioners Abroad: Ukrainian pensioners living abroad will need to undergo mandatory identification, although the process has been delayed.
- Return Initiatives: A pilot project for the return of Ukrainians, particularly to bolster the defense sector, is being planned, emphasizing the need for careful planning and adaptation to these new circumstances.
Overall, the video highlights the evolving situation for Ukrainian refugees, with a mix of support and new challenges as they navigate their lives abroad in the coming year.
