Media: Trump has prepared an unpleasant decision for Ukrainians

Brief retelling from RIA II

About one hundred thousand Ukrainians may lose temporary protection in the United States.

The current status for Ukrainians expires on October 19, and its extension depends on the decision of the administration.

The administration's position is influenced by difficulties in relations between the United States and Ukraine, which increases the chances of the temporary protection being lifted or the status remaining in limbo.

MOSCOW, October 9 – RIA Novosti. About one hundred thousand Ukrainians may lose temporary protection in the United States, writes Politico.

According to the publication, the current status for Ukrainians expires on October 19. After this, the administration must extend it or cancel it. However, it may remain without formal cancellation, which will extend the program for another six months.

“Lawmakers fearing that the (President Donald - Ed.) Trump administration will roll back protections for Ukrainian refugees in the United States are asking the president to consider another option: do nothing,” the material says.

The administration’s position, as the author writes, is influenced by the ongoing difficulties in relations between the United States and Ukraine.

As one of the sources told the publication, the head of the White House is also considering this issue in the context of resolving the Ukrainian conflict, which increases the chances of the temporary protection being lifted or that the Ukrainians will ultimately be left in limbo.

“Right now there is no incentive to do anything positive for Ukraine,” he said.
