Over 5.7 million Ukrainian citizens have
fled to the EU since the beginning of the war in February.
During the same period, around 2.8 million
Ukrainians have exited the EU towards their home country. While the number of
returning Ukrainians has remained stable over the past weeks, between 8 and 14
of June, more Ukrainians were recorded entering the EU than returning to
Ukraine.
The number of Ukrainians entering the EU
from Russia and Belarus has remained constant. From 8 to 14 June, around 1,470
Ukrainian citizens arrived in the EU through Belarus and 7,400 through Russia.
In total, around 6.6 million entries to the
EU have been recorded after February at border crossing points from Ukraine and
Moldova to Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania, excluding entries made by
Moldovan and Romanian nationals.
Romanian and Polish borders continue to
experience most pressure. Land routes to transport grain out of Ukraine are
operating through border crossing points in the two countries, which has
resulted in lorry queues of up to 20 kilometres.
Frontex continues to monitor refugee flows
to facilitate border crossings and support evacuation corridors. We currently
have 278 staff deployed to countries bordering Ukraine.
