The EU provided protection for 79 thousand Ukrainians in September: what caused the increase

In September of this year, over 79 thousand Ukrainians received temporary protection in European Union countries, which is a significant increase compared to the previous month. The rise in the number of refugees is related to the decision of the Ukrainian government regarding the departure of men aged 18-22.Unfortunately, Germany is offering restrictions on the entry of young Ukrainians after Kyiv lifted the ban on their departure. The leader of the Christian Social Union, Markus Söder, called on the European Union to influence Ukraine to tighten exit rules. According to Eurostat, in September, over 4 million Ukrainian refugees with temporary protection status lived in European countries, which constitutes a significant share of all individuals with this status.
