More than 3.4 million people have fled Ukraine since Russia invaded, according to the latest figures from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
Monday’s update showed that, of those refugees, more than 2 million have crossed the border into Poland. Additionally, about 535,000 have entered Romania and 365,000 have crossed into Moldova. Refugees are also going to Hungary, Slovakia, Belarus & even Russia.
UNHCR chief Filippo Grandi tweeted Sunday evening that since the Russian invasion, 10 million people in Ukraine fled, either displaced in the country or as refugees abroad.
“Among the responsibilities of those who wage war, everywhere in the world, is the suffering inflicted on civilians who are forced to flee their homes,” he wrote.
UNICEF told our affiliate ABC News that half of the internally displaced Ukrainians and half of those who have fled are children.
