Greece, until the end of May 2023, received 23,645 refugees from Ukraine, according to Eurostat data.
Compared to the population of each EU member state, the highest numbers of total beneficiaries of temporary protection per thousand people in May 2023 were observed in the Czech Republic (32.3), Estonia (26.4), Poland (26.3), Lithuania (24.9), Bulgaria (23.1) and Latvia (22.5), while the corresponding rate at EU level was equal to 9 per thousand people.
By May 2023, Ukrainian citizens accounted for 98% of temporary protection beneficiaries. Adult women made up almost half (46.6%; majority aged 35-64) of beneficiaries of temporary protection in the EU. Children accounted for just over a third (34.6%), while adult men made up less than one fifth (18.8%) of the total.
Temporary protection grants are based on the Council decision of 4 March 2022, which recognizes the existence of a mass influx of displaced persons from Ukraine due to Russia’s military invasion.
