Slightly over 4 million people had temporary protection status in the EU at the end of July having fled Ukraine following Russia’s invasion, the bloc’s statistical agency has reported.
Of the slightly more than 4.1 million non-EU citizens who had taken refuge from the war, the greatest number—1,110,600—were resident in Germany, representing 26.9% of the EU total, followed by Poland on 976,205 (23.7%) and the Czech Republic on 9% (369,610), Eurostat said in a Tuesday statement.
The greatest increase on June’s figure was recorded by Poland at 10,430, followed by the Czech Republic with 8,834, then Romania, which saw a rise of 4,250 people. Meanwhile, the totals fell in Luxembourg and France, each by 470.
The total also fell against June in Germany, as authorities there had removed from the statistics all those who had since been granted a different protection status or left the country, accounting together for 236,925 people, or 17.6% of the June figure.
