"All I can say is that discussions are ongoing," he noted.

According to the spokesperson, the European Commission "actually began discussions (on the possibility of extending temporary protection) with member states in March at the Justice and Home Affairs Council."

"We believe this is a necessary discussion. It concerns support for Ukraine and refugees from Ukraine. ... No decision has been made at this stage," Lammert added.
