I know it's a matter of wording, but no country "takes", but has people apply for asylum either before going or when there. Though Canada provided transportation to those approved.

It can be said that countries might need to facilitate/advertise this more (and not only in Europe). Some South American countries took some people as well (not as much as Europe though)

Oh and Poland received a lot of refugees from Ukraine (some say around 1Mi)

Take has many shades of meaning. "We take AmEx" means "We accept American Express card if you wish to pay that way." It doesn't mean that if I see an AmEx card I grab it.

If it helps, feel free to interpret my use of "taking" as short for "taking in", with meaning of "to admit; receive".
