Description

Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022 triggered an influx of displaced persons from Ukraine seeking safety, protection and security in the European Union. Well over 4 million people displaced from Ukraine (4.16 million) currently enjoy temporary protection in the EU. Ever since the start of the war of aggression against Ukraine, the EU has adopted various measures, such as economic assistance, humanitarian aid, civil protection support as well as capacity-building among Ukrainian armed forces. Dealing with displaced persons in such large numbers, currently around 1.04 million in Germany, 953 000 in Poland and 385 000 in Czechia, constitutes a major challenge for the EU, and for the individual Member States.
