In an incident that caused widespread concern among the Ukrainian community in the United States, a number of legally residing Ukrainians were surprised to receive an official email demanding them to leave American soil within seven days, under the threat of legal action. The surprise that shook the confidence of many was quickly clarified by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which promptly denied the validity of the email, confirming that it was sent in error. A spokesperson for the department emphasized that the Conditional Release Program, which allows many Ukrainians to legally reside in the United States, remains valid without any changes in its conditions or mechanisms, urging those affected to ignore the email and not worry about their legal status. Despite the authorities' acknowledgment of the error, it sparked a wave of questions and concerns among beneficiaries of the program, especially amidst the turbulent conditions that have driven thousands of Ukrainians to seek refuge in the United States in recent years in search of safety and stability.
