They also received protection in the Netherlands via the TPD. In 2023 the former State Secretary decided that third-country nationals should be able to return to their countries of origin. Several third-country nationals did not agree with this and went to court. This resulted in various judgments. The Council of State (in Dutch: Raad van State, or RvS), the highest administrative court, needed to give a final and conclusive judgment in order to create clarity and unity. The RvS ruled that the support for third-country nationals would be allowed to end on 4 March 2024. Some of the third-country nationals also appealed against this ruling. Thereupon, the Amsterdam District Court decided to pose questions to the European Court of Justice. The Council of State (the Division) also did this afterwards. The case will be heard at the Court of Appeal on 3 September. </p> <h2>The latest news reports about third-country nationals from Ukraine:</h2> <ul> <li><a data-entity-substitution="canonical"
