Recent Eurostat data indicates Romania saw a significant increase in Ukrainian citizens receiving temporary protection status in September, ranking second in the EU. This rise contrasts with a general decline in the EU's Ukrainian population under temporary protection. Germany led with 5,515 new cases, followed by Romania with 3,900 and Italy with 2,505. By the end of September, Romania hosted 226,695 Ukrainians under this status. Despite this growth, Poland and the Czech Republic experienced notable departures of protected Ukrainians. Overall, 4.37 million Ukrainians were under temporary protection in the EU, with a slight decrease from August. Ukrainian citizens made up 98.5% of all beneficiaries in the EU, with adult women representing 44.1%.
