stateless people was heavily impacted, […] people faced greater challenges earning money. For example, if people had to checkpoints to get to work, they wouldn't be allowed to pass without documentation. [...] Undocumented people faced huge barriers and were often not permitted to cross the border. [...] Movement towards the west has been particularly difficult and sometimes it is also difficult for undocumented people to return to Ukraine. […]” “Back in April the European Commission asserted that ‘Temporary Protection applies to everyone fleeing the war from Ukraine’. Yet our analysis of routes to protection for stateless people from Ukraine shows that two months later many stateless people still find themselves outside the scope of this protection” ENS, BRIEFING #3: Protection gaps for stateless refugees from Ukraine, 23 June, 2022 “This third advocacy briefing in our series on statelessness and the Ukraine crisis draws on country briefings produced with our members and local lawyers to provide an update on current protection gaps for refugees from Ukraine who are stateless or at risk of statelessness (including those with undetermined nationality). Our analysis of routes to protection for refugees from Ukraine in 17 European countries shows that there are significant protection gaps across Europe for stateless people. To prevent discrimination, avoid over-burdening asylum procedures, and facilitate eventual safe return to Ukraine, it is imperative that these gaps are addressed by national and regional authorities. […] In some countries, including France, Portugal, Switzerland, and the UK, it is still unclear whether all those fleeing Ukraine may enter the territory regardless of documentation status. […] In Hungary, the EU Temporary Protection Directive is being implemented in a very restrictive way and alternative routes to protection (including asylum) are not available to stateless people fleeing Ukraine. Routes to protection for stateless people from Ukraine are also very limited in Austria. […] No country has extended eligibility to all stateless people and those at risk of statelessness to include those who cannot prove prior legal residence in Ukraine.

On April 4, Human Rights Watch had released a report based on interviews with migrants and asylum seekers detained in the Zhuravychi Migrant Accommodation Center in Volyn’ oblast, a former military barracks one hour from Lutsk, a city in northwestern Ukraine. Migrants and asylum seekers also remain in detention at the Zhuravychi center […] Interviewees in both centers said guards told them they could leave the Zhuravychi or Mykolaiv facilities if they joined the Ukrainian war effort, and that the guards promised them they would be granted Ukrainian citizenship and documentation if they joined. The interviewees said that no one accepted the offer […] Some people from both Zhuravychi and Mykolaiv have been released and evacuated to Poland with the aid and assistance of their embassies in neighboring countries. While the involvement of embassies of third country nationals might be needed at some point to assist with identity and travel documents, this should not be used as a reason to delay the urgent release of everyone currently held in both centers so that they can move to safety." European Network on Statelessness, Briefing: Update on access to protection for stateless refugees from Ukraine, 28 April 2022 “Most people affected by statelessness residing in Ukraine are stateless ‘in their own country’ and - due to their statelessness - are unable to prove their links to Ukraine or any other country through 50
