Complementing the first factsheet on population movements related to the Ukraine Refugee Situation published in February 2024, this second factsheet presents an overview of recent trends around border movements, pendular movements and short-term visits, voluntary returns of refugees, new displacements and latest estimates of refugees recorded in Europe and beyond.
Border crossings continued to exhibit seasonal fluctuations associated to short-term visits and pendular movements. The months of March-April (Easter period) and July-August (Summer period) were characterized by higher inflows towards Ukraine than outflows out of the country, while the opposite occurred in the months following these periods. The higher net outflows from Ukraine observed during May - June 2024 are partly explained by seasonal movements following the Easter period, but also due to new displacements caused by the escalation of hostilities and power cuts following attacks on energy infrastructures.
