The United States and its allies have condemned the invasion, and are imposing trade and financial sanctions on Russia and enhancing their own military deterrence posture, while also providing aid to Ukraine. More than 2 million people have fled as refugees to neighboring countries, and the United States pledged humanitarian assistance in response to the crisis. The United States maintains deep and multifaceted relations with Ukraine, and the country is a leading recipient of U.S. foreign and military aid. As of 2019, more than 350,000 foreign-born individuals from Ukraine resided in the United States. Some have U.S. citizenship and others have lawful permanent resident (LPR) status. Still others have temporary statuses (such as students, tourists, and temporary workers) and could see their authorized periods of admission end before it is safe to return; and some have no lawful immigration status. Those with temporary or no legal status could benefit from certain temporary immigration relief options. Temporary Protected Status Designation for Ukraine On March 3, 2022, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the designation of Ukraine for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 18 months. DHS cited the armed conflict and extraordinary conditions in Ukraine resulting from Russia's attack on that country. The DHS Secretary, after consultation with other U.S. government agencies, may designate a country for TPS if (1) there is an armed conflict preventing the safe return of nationals from that country; (2) there has been an environmental disaster in the country that substantially disrupts living conditions; or (3) there are extraordinary and temporary conditions that prevent foreign nationals from safely returning. The DHS Secretary may designate the country for periods of 6 to 18 months and may extend these periods if the country continues to meet the conditions for designation. To qualify for TPS, an applicant from a designated country must meet certain criteria, including physical presence in the United States since the effective date of the country's TPS designation, continuous residence in the United States since a date specified by the DHS Secretary, and admissibility to the United Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov IN11889 CRS INSIGHT Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress
