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.

Yes, I was conflating the numbers of immigrants with the number of refugees.

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.

According to the source, yes, there are currently 36 million refugees globally. Around 10% of those are in the EU. That’s 3.6 million.

And that’s still the total and not the yearly increase, although admittedly the total did increase recently quite a bit due to the war in Ukraine. And it is still a tiny number compared to the total population in the EU.
