Summary by the Danish Parliament (in Danish)
Forslaget begrænser adgangen til midlertidig opholdstilladelse for personer omfattet af reglerne for den ukrainske mobilisering. Forslaget indebærer, at reglerne for at opnå opholdstilladelse i Danmark efter Ukrainesærloven skærpes for personer i alderen 23-60 år, som efter ukrainsk lovgivning er omfattet af reglerne om mobilisering og ikke er fritaget for militærtjeneste. Derudover gives udlændinge- og integrationsministeren bemyndigelse til fremover at fastsætte yderligere betingelser for opholdstilladelse, hvis EU beslutter at begrænse adgangen til ordningen yderligere.
