Abstract

In this article, we contrast the (estimated) current distribution of Ukrainians with the one associated to asylum seekers who arrived before the war in Ukraine and the one that would be obtained based on the allocation scheme proposed by the European Commission in 2015. This allows us to discuss how a reallocation of refugees across destinations would lower pressure for neighboring countries of Ukraine and, at the same time, how this would reshape the location of forced migrants within Europe.
