Ukrainians continue to seek temporary asylum in Europe. The number of people fleeing the war has reached almost 4.3 million and continues to grow in the European Union.

We will tell you which countries remain the most popular among Ukrainians and which are losing interest among refugees.

According to Eurostat, the most popular destinations for Ukrainian refugees are:

Even more Ukrainians went to countries such as:

Germany (increase by 20,595 or +1.7%);

Czech Republic (increase by 4,880 or +1.3%);

Norway (increase by 4,180 or +6.9%).

It is worth noting that while in October 2023 Ukrainians sought asylum in all EU countries, in November they began to leave such countries as Poland (down 5,510), Italy (-160), France (-125) and Luxembourg (-15).

Overall, more than 98% of persons with temporary protection in the EU are Ukrainian citizens. Adult women make up almost half of all refugees (46.3%), children 33.3%, and men 20.4%.

Please note! To ensure a safe stay abroad, you should take care of reliable health insurance in advance, which will not only help you maintain your health, but also protect you from unforeseen expenses. You can take out an insurance policy that covers emergency medical care in case of illnesses and accidents, as well as inpatient and outpatient care around the world on the Visit Ukraine website. In addition, on our portal, you can immediately apply for car insurance - the Green Card, which is mandatory in 50 countries, including the EU.

As a reminder, the Czech Republic has taken decisive measures to improve living conditions for Ukrainian refugees by doubling housing payments from the beginning of 2024. These changes apply to Ukrainians who are under temporary protection in the country. Find out more about the amount of payments according to the innovations.
