Germany expects to receive at least 225,000 refugees from Ukraine

The German government expects to receive at least 225,000 refugees for the war in Ukraine, according to the weekly “Der Spiegel”, which refers to an internal study of the Executive. These calculations, however, are provisional and based on estimates by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) during the first days after the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. So it was predicted that the conflict will cause about 1.7 million people to be displaced.

By Friday they had already left Ukraine 1.2 million people, according to figures released yesterday by the United Nations. Most of them have been welcomed by Poland, which took in 106,000 displaced people in the past 24 hours, the highest number in a single day since the invasion began. which makes 780,000 the total number of refugees accepted in that country. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) estimated a few days ago that the invasion of Ukraine could result in about four million people being displaced, yesterday’s figure was raised to ten million, which is almost 25% of the population of Ukraine. The German government has avoided making predictions about how many refugees, especially in Poland, Hungary, Romania or Slovakia They will then continue their journey to Germany.

only on friday About 11,000 people arrived at the central station in Berlin, which consolidates the pace of growth of the 350 received on Tuesday, according to the capital authorities. Germany accepted in 2015, the peak year of the human crisis stemming from the Syrian conflict, nearly one million refugees. With this, it far exceeds the previous maximum number of asylum seekers, registered in 1992, as a result of the conflict in the Balkans, with 420,000 people displaced from Bosnia.
