Since the Russian Federation began its war in Ukraine, over a million Ukrainian refugees have passed through the Republic of Moldova, seeking safety from the bombings. Approximately 100,000 have remained in the Republic of Moldova, with more than half of them living in Chisinau.
According to the General Inspectorate for Migration, over 4,600 Ukrainian citizens have applied for citizenship in the Republic of Moldova. To date, 2,692 have been granted Moldovan citizenship, and 2,974 applicants have been officially recognised as citizens of the Republic of Moldova.
