More than 6.5 million people have fled Ukraine since Russian invasion, says UN refugee agency
At least 6.5 million people have fled Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion in late February, according to the latest United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) data.
In addition, more than 8 million people -- nearly one in five of Ukraine’s pre-war population -- are internally displaced after having been forced to flee their homes, according to the latest report by the International Organization for Migration.
A projected 8.3 million refugees are expected to flee Ukraine, the UNHCR said in late April.
