As of August 31, 2025, a total of 4.37 million non-European Union citizens who fled Ukraine due to the Russian aggression were granted temporary protection status in EU countries. This measure has been crucial for the protection and support of those who have been forced to leave their homes in search of a safer environment.
The countries hosting the largest number of beneficiaries of this temporary protection are Germany, with 1,210,515 people, representing 27.7% of the total in the EU, followed by Poland with 995,925 (22.8%) and the Czech Republic with 385,855 (8.8%). Between the end of July and the end of August, there was an increase of 30,980 people under this category, equivalent to a 0.7% rise.
The analysis indicates that the situation has improved in 25 EU countries. Germany leads in new additions with 6,800 (+0.6%), followed by the Czech Republic with 5,175 (+1.4%) and Romania with 2,370 (+1.2%). This increase reflects the ongoing conflict and the determination of many Ukrainians to seek a safer future.
The highest rates of temporary protection beneficiaries per thousand inhabitants are recorded in the Czech Republic (35.4), Poland (27.3), and Estonia (25.4), compared to an average of 9.7 across Europe. As of August 31, 2025, Ukrainian citizens represented over 98.4% of all beneficiaries of this protection in the EU. Within this group, adult women made up 44.6%, minors almost a third (31.1%), and adult men nearly a quarter (24.3%).
This data falls within the decision made by the EU Council on March 4, 2022, which recognized the massive influx of displaced persons from Ukraine due to the war. In response to the ongoing humanitarian situation, the European Council decided on June 13, 2025, to extend this temporary protection from March 4, 2026, to March 4, 2027. This measure is essential for providing hope and refuge to those who continue to seek safety amid the crisis.
