EU Extends Temporary Protection for 4.3M Ukrainian Refugees
The total figure representing Ukrainians under temporary protection declined marginally from September's conclusion—dropping by 6,170 individuals.
Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic accommodated the highest beneficiary populations, hosting approximately 1.3 million, 965,000, and 393,000 respectively. These nations account for 28.6%, 22.5%, and 9.1% of the EU aggregate.
EU member states granted 74,175 fresh temporary protection determinations throughout October, marking the second-largest monthly issuance in 2025, trailing only September's record of 79,525 decisions.
The numerical increase follows a Ukrainian government decree enacted in late August permitting men aged 18-22 to depart Ukraine without restrictions.
Ukrainian nationals comprised over 98.4% of all temporary protection recipients across the EU. Adult women constituted 43.8% of beneficiaries, minors represented nearly one-third (30.8%), and adult men made up 25.5%.
The temporary protection designation acknowledged a massive displacement wave from Ukraine triggered by ongoing warfare—now approaching the four-year milestone—and established interim protection protocols.
In June, the European Council prolonged temporary protection for Ukrainians from March 2026 through March 2027.
