Temporary Protection Decisions Reach Their Peak in Two Years

Sure, here’s the translation into American English:

In September 2025, the countries of the European Union granted a total of 79,205 new temporary protection decisions to non-EU citizens fleeing Ukraine due to Russian aggression. This figure represents a remarkable increase of 49% compared to the previous month, marking the highest number of new decisions since August 2023. This increase followed the adoption at the end of August of a decree by the Ukrainian government that allows men aged 18 to 22 to leave the country without restrictions.

By the end of September, 4.3 million non-EU citizens who had fled Ukraine held temporary protection status. Compared to the end of August, this figure rose by 49,555 people, equating to a growth of 1.2%.

Among the EU countries hosting the largest number of temporary protection beneficiaries, Germany stands out with 1,218,100 individuals (28.3% of the total), Poland with 1,008,885 (23.5%), and the Czech Republic with 389,310 (9%). In total, 24 EU countries reported an increase in the number of beneficiaries, with Poland, Germany, and the Czech Republic seeing the largest absolute increases.

However, a slight decrease has been recorded in France, where the number of beneficiaries decreased by 240 individuals. In proportional terms, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Estonia have the highest rates of temporary protection beneficiaries per thousand inhabitants, with 35.7, 27.6, and 25.5 respectively, compared to the average of 9.6 across the EU.

As of September 30, 2025, more than 98.4% of the beneficiaries of this protection were Ukrainian citizens, of whom 44% were adult women, nearly one-third (31%) were minors, and approximately one-quarter (25.1%) were adult men.

These figures are part of the EU’s decision on March 4, 2022, which recognized the massive influx of displaced people from Ukraine due to the war and established temporary protection for them. Additionally, the European Council agreed on June 13, 2025, to extend this protection until March 2027, ensuring prolonged support for those escaping violence and instability in their home country.

As the situation in Ukraine continues to evolve, the EU faces the challenge of managing this growing wave of refugees while working on policies that ensure the safety and well-being of all affected by the crisis.
