Over 2,300 Non-Eu Citizens Fleeing Ukraine Found Temporary Protection In Malta By April 2025

Jun 10 2025

As of the end of April 2025, 4.26 million non-EU citizens who fled Ukraine due to Russia’s ongoing war of aggression had been granted temporary protection status across European Union member states.

According to Eurostat, the countries hosting the highest number of beneficiaries were Germany (1,189,355 people; 27.9% of the EU total), followed by Poland (986,925; 23.2%) and Czechia (370,600; 8.7%).

Compared to March 2025, the EU recorded a slight overall increase of 2,525 individuals under temporary protection in April, marking a 0.1% rise.

The largest increases were seen in Sweden (+9,345; +34.6%), largely due to the late renewal of protection statuses that had expired in March.

Czechia continued to have the highest number of temporary protection beneficiaries per capita, with 34 per 1,000 residents, followed by Poland (26.9) and Estonia (24.7).

The EU average stood at 9.5 per 1,000 people.

While figures remained relatively stable in smaller EU nations, Malta hosted 2,305 beneficiaries of temporary protection as of April 2025
