According to him, the Czech Republic expected an increase in the number of applications for temporary protection from Ukrainians in December and the second half of November, given the intensification of attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

And it turned out that their number had dropped from the 2000 per week we had in October to about 1700 per week,

- added the Czech Interior Minister.

At the same time, he assured that the agency continues to try to support internal migration in Ukraine.

This means that people who have to leave the eastern part of Ukraine, where the war is really going on, should be able to move to the western part of Ukraine, which logistically can still withstand it,

- the Minister noted.
