What is known about the reasons for the mass exodus of Ukrainians from Germany
It is noted that the number of Ukrainians in Germany has already sharply decreased from 1.37 million to 1.11 million people who retain the status of temporary protection.
It is emphasized that the temporary protection status of some Ukrainians has ceased to be valid in the registers, because these citizens either received a new protection status or left the country.
In general, according to Eurostat, 4 million 112 thousand Ukrainians left for EU countries since the beginning of the criminal war unleashed by Russia against Ukraine.
