There are about 4.3 million Ukrainians in the EU who continue to enjoy temporary protection. At the same time, their number is rapidly decreasing. This is evidenced by updated Eurostat data.

We will tell you about the directions of migration of Ukrainian refugees and the countries from which they are leaving en masse in the article.

Remember! When planning a trip to Ukraine, first of all, you need to take care of the appropriate insurance policy, because any foreign insurance automatically terminates after crossing the Ukrainian border. In this case, we recommend that you take out insurance specifically covering military risks, which will cover not only standard medical care/treatment/diagnosis, etc. but also accidents and injuries caused by passive or direct military risks.

You can take out such insurance on the Visit Ukraine website. Follow the link and choose an insurance policy with the appropriate coverage and indemnity amount for the required period.
