According to the Centre for Economic Strategy, at the end of January 2024, there were 4.9 million Ukrainian refugees abroad. In 2022, most European countries introduced various types and amounts of social assistance for Ukrainian refugees. However, there is currently a tendency to reduce payments, and some political leaders are proposing to abolish support for Ukrainians altogether.

Which European countries have allocated the most funds to support Ukrainians?

Germany.

According to DW, citing the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung newspaper, about 1.18 million Ukrainians are currently registered in Germany. This is a new record. In 2024, the number of migrants increased by 45,000. During the period of hostilities in Ukraine, Germany spent €30.6 billion on refugee assistance.

Poland.

Ukraine's Ambassador to Poland Vasyl Zvarych reports that the number of Ukrainian migrants in Poland is 950,000. The state has spent €26.5 billion on refugee assistance.

Czech Republic

According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, about 560 thousand Ukrainians lived in the Czech Republic this summer. During the full-scale invasion, the country spent 7 billion euros to help the affected citizens.

Earlier, we told you that Ukrainian migrants in the Czech Republic paid a record amount of taxes and made a significant contribution to the country's economy.

Spain.

This summer, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced that the country had received more than 200,000 Ukrainians since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion. Like the Czech Republic, the country has spent 7 billion euros to support refugees.

France.

There are about 66.6 thousand Ukrainian refugees in France. Politico reports that migrants are reluctant to come to France. The state has spent €3.2 billion on supporting Ukrainians since the beginning of the war.

After 2022, many Ukrainians returned home. However, the war is still ongoing, so some are forced to go to Europe again. Read more about whether Ukrainians should expect to receive temporary protection again on the Visit Ukraine portal.
