Since the conflict between Ukraine and Russia erupted earlier in the year, 1,185 Ukrainians have been able to find refuge in Malta. Like many other European countries, Malta decided to grant temporary protection over these refugees.
Temporary protection status grants these people the chance to live, work and study in said country.
Out of these 1,185 Ukrainians, 190 were given refugee status in March, 390 in April, 415 in May and another 190 in June.
These statistics have been released by Eurostat, which has been keeping an eye on the war in Ukraine and tallying the amount of refugees escaping the invaded country.
The statistics also show that Poland was the country which welcomed the most refugees, followed by Romania and Bulgaria.
