That is the total number of refugees hosted in the EU, not the yearly figure.

Source? Because that is not what the source you linked before says. And also highly unlikely because the global number of refugees according to the same source was 36.4 million at mid-2023.

According to the link above, 6.98 million people immigrated to the EU in 2022. In the same year, around 1 million new asylum claims were filed.

You are confusing immigrants with refugees. Most of the regular immigration is due to people taking up jobs and is coming from nearby non-EU countries like the UK.
