At the end of January 2023, over one million refugees were officially counted by the authorities.

Temporary protection for Ukrainian refugees in the EU

European Union (EU) members implemented the Temporary Protection Directive (TPD), which guaranteed access to accommodation, welfare, and healthcare to refugees from Ukraine. People fleeing the war had a right to a residence permit in the EU, enter the labor market, and enroll children in educational institutions. The protection was granted for one year from the start of the war in February 2022, but it could be extended in the future depending on the situation in the country.
