Poland — Crossings to Ukraine Surveys, Round 02 (12 April – 10 December 2022)

Since 24 February 2022, Ukrainians and Third-Country Nationals (TCNs) have been fleeing from Ukraine to neighbouring countries as a result of the war in Ukraine. According to the Polish Border Guard data from 13 December, a total of 8.19 million crossings from Ukraine to Poland were recorded at border crossing points (BCPs) so far. IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) has been collecting data through surveys with Ukrainians before crossing to Ukraine at the border areas in Poland. This report provides an overview of key figures of the 6,719 surveys that were conducted between 12 April and 10 December to assess the profiles, needs and intentions of refugees from Ukraine crossing from Poland back into Ukraine. Individuals crossing into Ukraine are not necessarily returnees and the sample is not representative of all persons crossing into Ukraine, results should hence only be considered as indicative. See the last page for a detailed description of the methodology.
