Since February 24, more than 8 million Ukrainians have left for Europe, but many subsequently returned home.
Currently, about 4 million 823 thousand Ukrainian refugees remain in Europe . This is reported by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
It is noted that in January the number of Ukrainians who received official protection (or apply for it) in European countries approached 5 million, but then at the end of the month their number decreased slightly. This happened due to the reduction in the number of official refugees in Germany – by more than 140 thousand people at once.
Now most of the refugees with the status of temporary protection are in Poland – 1 million 563 thousand. Germany is in second place – 881 thousand, in third – the Czech Republic with 485 thousand refugees.
At the same time, the total number of Ukrainian refugees in Europe during the war, including those who had already returned home, amounted to 8 million 46 thousand people.
Ukrainian refugees in Europe – latest news
Poland has updated the re-entry rules for refugees from Ukraine. If a Ukrainian refugee returns to Poland but does not fulfill the specified conditions, he may lose social benefits.

The Netherlands has also extended the stay of refugees for another 12 months, until February next year.
God bless them and all the other nations mentioned and unmentioned whom opened their doors and their hearts to Ukraine’s sons and daughters.
Is that what you’re going to do? We have a new family from Ukraine here in my city and I’m going to call them later.
Yeah. Going to stay here. Maybe even permanently.
That would be sad for me, we still have to have a pint on Maidan some day 🙂 I shouldn’t be selfish though.
We still can. It’s only a 2.5 hour flight from here to Kyiv.
There are flights that stop in Copenhagen too but I think the Maidan would be better. Do those Vets still have that pizza place there?
Not sure what’s going on in Kyiv. My contacts live outside of the city and rarely travel now.
