UN: Nearly 13 Million Ukrainians on the Run

108

More than 12.7 million people have been displaced since Russia invaded Ukraine two months ago.

 

Of these, 7.7 million sought safer shelter within Ukraine, and more than 5 million Ukrainians fled abroad, the UN refugee agency reports.

A spokesman said at a press briefing on Tuesday that 8.3 million people are expected to flee the country. The UN previously assumed 4 million Ukrainians would leave their country.

The organization says it needs more than 1.7 billion euros for aid to refugees in neighbouring countries of Ukraine.
