On the other hand, four countries saw a decrease in the number of people benefitting from temporary protection: Poland (-4 700 -0.5%), Portugal (-2 520 -4%), Estonia (-1 885 -5%) and France (-985 -1%).ĭata presented in this article refer to the grants of temporary protection based on the Council Implementing Decision 2022/382 of 4 March 2022, establishing the existence of a mass influx of displaced persons from Ukraine due to Russia’s military invasion, and having the effect of introducing temporary protection. This made the number of registered beneficiaries of temporary protection at the end of March seem lower than it actually was.
Sweden's large increase was mainly because the process to renew temporary protection statuses, which finished in March 2023, was delayed. The main countries hosting beneficiaries of temporary protection from Ukraine were Germany (1 090 235 people 28% of the total), Poland (995 035 25%) and Czechia (331 850 8%).Ĭompared with the end of March 2023, the number of beneficiaries of temporary protection from Ukraine increased across the EU (+51 010 +1.3%). On 30 April 2023, almost 4 million non- EU citizens who fled Ukraine as a consequence of the Russian invasion on 24 February 2022 were benefitting from temporary protection status in EU countries.
