As of June 30, 2023, approximately 4.07 million non-EU citizens, who sought refuge due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, have been

granted temporary protection status within EU countries.

The primary EU nations providing temporary protection to beneficiaries from Ukraine were Germany (1,133,420 individuals; 28% of the total), Poland (977,740; 24%), and Czechia (349,140; 9%).

In comparison to the end of May 2023, the count of individuals under temporary protection in the EU from Ukraine has increased by 45,800 (+1.1%). The most significant rises were recorded in Germany (+21,830; +2.0%), Czechia (+9,050; +2.7%), and Ireland (+3,100; +3.7%).

However, only two countries saw a reduction in the number of individuals under temporary protection: Poland (-13,635; -1.4%) and Italy (-1,005; -0.6%).

The data presented in this report pertain to the issuance of temporary protection based on the Council Implementing Decision 2022/382 of March 4, 2022. This decision acknowledged the mass influx of displaced persons from Ukraine due to Russia's military invasion and established provisions for temporary protection.

At the EU level, this figure stood at 9.1 per one thousand people.

By June 30, 2023, Ukrainian citizens constituted over 98% of the beneficiaries of temporary protection. Adult women comprised nearly half (46.6%) of those under temporary protection within the EU. Children constituted slightly more than one-third (34.4%), while adult men constituted less than one-fifth (19.0%) of the overall total. Photo by Dpsu.gov.ua, Wikimedia commons.
