This was reported by European Pravda’s correspondent, citing the EU Special Envoy for Ukrainians, Ylva Johansson.“We’re talking about 4.7 million Ukrainians who are currently under temporary protection in EU countries — and that number is still growing,” Johansson said.According to her, applications for asylum from those fleeing the Russian-Ukrainian war continue to come in. She stressed that despite the rising number of Ukrainians in the EU, “temporary protection must remain temporary.” At the same time, the EU is preparing for a new stage of cooperation with Ukrainians.“We’re now focusing on a new phase — the transition from temporary protection to partnership. We’re moving from refugee status toward building a diaspora,” Johansson added.On October 19, reports noted growing skepticism in Germany about support for Ukrainian refugees, particularly men of conscription age.
