The Finnish Immigration Service to establish new reception centres on 8 September
By 6 September 2022, those fleeing Ukraine due to the Russian military attack had submitted 38,243 applications for temporary protection.
Some of the reception centres to be established are branches of existing reception centres. The Finnish Immigration Service continues to increase the number of accommodation places in existing reception centres.
