The European Commission has officially called for the activation of the procedure to exclude Ukraine from the EU's list of safe countries.

This list was previously used to quickly reject asylum applications from Ukrainian citizens, as it was assumed that Ukraine was a safe country.

However, according to Euractiv, Ukraine's exclusion from the list will simplify the asylum process for its citizens.

What does this mean for Ukrainian citizens?

Ukraine's exclusion from the list of safe countries may lead to a simplification of the asylum process for Ukrainian citizens.

This may be particularly important for those seeking protection in the EU.
