Let's maybe also look at the fact that these are in fact European-educated students rather than just people with the wrong nationality. Throwing them out of the EU will not only generate ill will toward the EU but nearly universally be a loss to their former host country.

Seems like their ill will would be misplaced. It was because of Russia attacking Ukraine that their foreign exchange student thing fell through. It was nice to give them two years to hope things go back to normal in Ukraine but that doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon.
