Just over two weeks after the Russian invasion began, there are more than a million refugees from Ukraine located in various countries.
Currently, more than a million Ukrainians have already fled their country as a result of the attacks carried out by the Russian military, according to data from the site that the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) launched in order to report on the humanitarian crisis.
According to the graph deposited above, Poland is the country that has received the most refugees from Ukraine since the conflict beganwith a total of 453 thousand 982 people, most of whom are women and children, who have been in charge of arriving in Poland either on foot, by bus, by car or by train in the last seven days.
Hungary is another of the countries that has received the most refugees from Ukraine, with a total of 116,348 people, while just over 65,000 people have left the Ukrainian territory to go to Moldova, and some 67,000 refugees have gone to oh Slovakia. Other countries that are receiving the Ukrainian community fleeing their country are Russia, Romania, Belarus and other European countries.
According to the UNHCR, if this rate of citizens leaving Ukraine continues, this could be “the biggest refugee crisis in Europe so far this century”which is why a call has been made by the United Nations body to “continue to maintain access to the territory for all those who flee: both Ukrainians and third-country nationals living in Ukraine.”
As has been revealed in recent days, more than 300 companies have their services blocked, vetoed or temporarily suspended in the country led by Vladimir Putin as a response against recent attacks in Ukraine.
In fact, the UN predicts that around 16 million Ukrainians will need help and protection in the coming months.
