According to a proposal that will be presented shortly, Ukrainian men between the ages of 18 and 60 will no longer be covered by the collective assessment that allows Ukrainians to be granted temporary residence in Norway.
Norway has already received the most Ukrainians in the Nordic countries. To ensure that we do not receive a disproportionately large share, stricter measures are needed, says Minister of Justice Astri Aas-Hansen (Labour Party).
The new rules are proposed to apply to new applications, not to those already granted.
More than a million adult Ukrainian men have been sheltered in European countries during the war. Ukraine's armed forces are finding it increasingly difficult to recruit new soldiers.
