Applications are not decisions or recognitions, and are not temporary protection, which has a different legal basis (Cyprus's whole 2008-2025 Ukrainian applicant count here is 485, against a temporary-protection stock above 25,000). Every value is rounded to the nearest 5, so no published identity holds exactly and no figure should be derived from another by addition or subtraction. The origin is the Cyprus Asylum Service's own case-management system, transmitted to Eurostat under Regulation (EC) No 862/2007, the same origin as any Cypriot national figure and as the population UNHCR counts as resident in Cyprus; two of these are never presented as independent corroboration of each other.
