Third-country nationals from Ukraine will not have to leave shelters in several Dutch municipalities for the time being. According to a survey by ANP that included around 300 municipalities, cities like Eindhoven, Groningen, Arnhem, Ede, Deventer, and Roermond have announced that they will not turn these refugees out onto the streets as of Monday.
The District Court of The Hague ruled against the outgoing Cabinet on Wednesday, saying the Netherlands cannot arbitrarily end the temporary protection of three third-country nationals from Ukraine starting on September 4. The ruling is the result of separate lawsuits filed by two third-country nationals of Indian citizenship and one of Moroccan citizenship. The Ministry of Justice and Security said the ruling will not hinder their plans to stop the reception of third-country nationals beginning on Monday.
