The Ministry of the Interior of Czechia has not recorded an increase in the number of Ukrainian refugees arriving during the winter season, contrary to popular expectations.
Source Czech Interior Minister Vt Rakuan on Czech Television, as reported by European Pravda Details Rakuan noted that Czechia anticipated an uptick in applications for temporary protection filed by Ukrainians during December and the second half of November due to intensified attacks on Ukraines energy infrastructure.
Quote It turned out that the number has actually decreased from 2,000 per week, which we saw in October, to approximately 1,700 per week.
The minister assured that Czechia continues its efforts to support internal migration within Ukraine.
Quote This means that people who need to leave the eastern part of Ukraine, where the war is objectively ongoing, should have the opportunity to move to the western part of Ukraine, which can still logistically handle this.
Background As of the latest data from the Czech Ministry of the Interior, there are currently 386,782 Ukrainians who enjoy temporary protection in Czechia.
Czech authorities estimate that about 60 of these refugees plan to stay in the country after the war ends.
In early October 2024, only 756 Ukrainian refugees were using free emergency accommodation in Czechia, compared to over 12,000 in midJuly.
