Dear Sir or Madam,
Could you please advise whether I can obtain temporary protection under Section 24 of the German Residence Act in light of the following circumstances:
-
I left Ukraine on 17 February 2022 under the visa-free regime.
-
Due to the outbreak of the war, I was unable to return to Ukraine and remained in Poland, where I later obtained a temporary residence permit (based on employment).
-
During that period I was subjected to labour exploitation and experienced systematic discrimination.
-
I was diagnosed with a severe chronic illness requiring specialised treatment, which I have repeatedly been unable to access despite being employed, paying taxes, and not receiving any social benefits.
-
For 20 months I have been on inadequate steroid-based therapy, which may ultimately lead to disability.
-
Returning to Ukraine is not possible for obvious reasons.
I kindly request your assessment and advice. I have all necessary documents confirming my date of entry and my medical condition. If, in your view, I am eligible for protection under Section 24, could you also indicate which federal state would be most appropriate for me to approach? I would be grateful for any further recommendations or questions you may have.
Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
