At August 31, 2026, 4.43 million non-EU citizens who fled Ukraine were registered under temporary protection in the EU, according to Eurostat. The rounded total was 3,290 people or 0.1% higher than at the end of July; it is a registered population stock at a point in time, not a flow of new migration or asylum applications.
Germany registered 1,294,555 people, 29.2% of the total; Poland 939,395 (21.2%); and Czechia 398,360 (9%). Monthly increases were recorded in 24 countries; country-level changes can be affected by differences in deregistration and reporting rules.
