Poland hosted millions of Ukrainian refugees fleeing the war in Ukraine.

Omissions

• The claim's 'millions' is only fully accurate in cumulative/peak terms: the peak registered figure for Poland was about 1.5 million (2022), while the current hosted population (2025–2026) is around 1 million, not several million.
• One source (Eurostat news release ddn-20260811-1) was published on 2026-08-11, after the session date of 2026-07-07, although the data it reports (temporary protection on 30 June 2026) refers to a period before the session.
• No single primary source was found stating explicitly that Poland hosted 'millions' (≥2 million) of refugees at any one point in time; the 'millions' figure derives from cumulative arrivals/crossings rather than a point-in-time stock.
