Non-EU citizens having fled Ukraine

According to Eurostat, over 4.2 million non-EU citizens who fled Ukraine due to Russia’s war of aggression were under temporary protection at the end of November 2024. The EU countries hosting the highest number of beneficiaries of temporary protection (BTPs) from Ukraine were Germany (1 152 620 people; 27.2 % of the EU total), Poland (987 925; 23.3 %) and Czechia (385 190; 9.1 %). The highest ratios (that is, the number of persons under temporary protection relative to the country’s overall population), were registered in Czechia (35.3), ahead of Poland (27.0), Estonia and Latvia (both 25.5). In the EU, the ratio was 9.4 per 1 000 people (see Figure 1).
