UN: More than 2 million people have left Ukraine

Russia's military offensive in Ukraine has led to the destruction of civilian infrastructure and civilian casualties and forced 2 million 11,31,000 people to flee the country in search of safety, protection and assistance over 12 days of war, according to the website of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.

 

According to it, the most refugees from Ukraine arrived in Poland - 1 million 204.4 thousand people. Hungary took 191.35 thousand refugees from Ukraine, Slovakia - 140.75 thousand, Moldova - 82.76 thousand, Romania - 82.06 thousand, other European countries - 210.24 thousand.

 

According to the OHCHR, 99,300 came to Russia from Ukraine and 0.45,000 to Belarus.

 

"As the situation continues to evolve, about 4 million people may leave Ukraine," the organization notes.

 

The organization specifies that the right to free movement within the Schengen area means that there are very few border controls in the European Union, so data on arrivals in Hungary, Poland and Slovakia reflect only border crossings in these countries, but, according to UN estimates, a large number of people have moved to other countries. In addition, the UN OHCHR does not count people from border countries leaving Ukraine and returning home.
