Supplementary notes

The source specified the following information:
"The total number of Refugees from Ukraine recorded to date reflects the estimated number of individuals who have fled Ukraine since 24 February 2022, have been granted international protection, temporary protection or other forms of stay linked to their protection needs or situation in the country of origin, and are currently present in each respective host country.

In compiling these operational statistics, care has been taken to ensure alignment with UNHCR’s official statistics, which are published biannually. However, discrepancies between operational and official figures may exist for specific countries.

As of mid-June 2023, an estimated 1.2 million Ukrainians were recorded in the Russian Federation under different legal forms of stay (other than refugee or temporary asylum status) and reported by UNHCR as persons in a refugee-like situation. However, this figure has not been updated since June 2023 and therefore can no longer be included in UNHCR's official statistics for 2024."

Turkey is included in Europe.
