The number of Ukrainian refugees with official status in Poland is decreasing at a record pace. Eurostat.
According to them, at the end of September there were 4,370,060 Ukrainians with temporary protection status in the EU countries. This is 61,055 fewer people than in August.
The reduction occurred only in two countries - Poland and the Czech Republic. In the Czech Republic, the number of refugees decreased by 6,670 people (1.7%), and in Poland by 80,850 (8.7%). At the same time, the decrease in the Polish index is not due to the mass departure of Ukrainians, but to the transition of many of them to regular residence permits.
In terms of the number of Ukrainians in temporary protection, the leaders are:
- Germany: 1,300,070 people (29.7% of the EU total).
- Poland - 858,545 (19.6%);.
- Czech Republic - 391,720 (9%).
In other EU countries, the number of Ukrainians, on the contrary, increased in September.
We remind you that the European Union extended the temporary protection for Ukrainians until March 4, 2028. However, according to the original notice, it is no longer available to men liable for military service who arrived after August 5, 2026.
