How many Ukrainian refugees are there in the European Union – and where?
Since the beginning of the war, over 5 million people have fled Ukraine. Making use of the available data, OBC Transeuropa tried to figure out where they are going, and which were the countries that already hosted the largest Ukrainian communities before the war.
- Poland is the country that has so far welcomed the highest number of Ukrainian refugees: almost 3 million.
- Some of the EU countries not bordering Ukraine have begun to communicate official data relating to the arrivals of Ukrainian refugees: almost 380,000 reached Germany, and more than 100,000 Italy.
- Before the war, Italy, Germany and Poland were the countries that hosted almost 60% of the approximately 1.2 million Ukrainians who lived in the EU: there were, respectively, 246,000, 241,500, and 218,700 Ukrainian citizens.
- In Italy and Germany, Ukrainians made up 3.9% and 1.8% of the total number of foreigners residing in the territory, while in Poland this percentage was much higher: 33%. In addition to purely geographical reasons, this may partially explain why so many Ukrainians have sought refuge in Poland.

Here's a medium post that explains how the tool works.
