For the first time since the inception of the Common European Asylum System (CEAS), Europe was called to assist such a high number of people seeking protection. In 2023, asylum applications rose to levels reminiscent of the 2015-2016 refugee crisis. But in reality, countries provided protection to far more people, as over 4.3 million beneficiaries of temporary protection were recorded since the beginning of the Russian invasion, on top of the over 1.1 million asylum seekers in 2023.
