[HIGHLIGHTS] More than 15,000 Ukrainians work in Lower Saxony

More than 15,000 Ukrainians work in Lower Saxony. After Russia's attack on Ukraine on February 24, 2022, many people fled the country to Germany.

There are also Ukrainians who have already worked in Germany. The Ukrainian employees are providing some relief at schools, for example, where the staffing situation is generally tense. In July 2023, there were almost 1,500 fewer Ukrainians employed in LowerSaxony subject to social security contributions, and in January last year there were around 4,000 fewer.
