The number of temporary protection-status permits issued to Ukrainians in the European Union dropped in most member states in February. EU countries had issued over the course of 2022 more than 4 million permits to Ukrainian nationals, the bloc's statistics institute, Eurostat, said. However, the influx seems to be gradually decreasing, with 19 of the 26 EU members seeing a decline. Poland and Germany, each counting a total of about 1 million asylum seekers coming from Ukraine, saw in February a monthly drop of 3,540 and 3,080 permits to 24,905 and 25,125, respectively.
