UNHCR's latest figure for the number of refugees who have crossed Ukraine's longest border into Russia since the invasion, compiled up to the end of Thursday, is 53,000. UNHCR said that 183,688 people, having crossed Ukraine's borders into neighbouring nations, had now moved on to other European countries. Two camps have been set up, one in Sighetu Marmatiei and the other in Siret. Some 78,977 refugees from Ukraine are now in Romania. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Moldova on Sunday and Gavrilita urged Washington to provide more humanitarian aid to help her country of 2.6 million, one of Europe's poorest, cope with the influx. Prime Minister Natalia Gavrilita said Sunday that more than 230,000 people have crossed the border from Ukraine. Some 82,762 refugees are now in Moldova, though many thousands more have passed through the non-EU state on their way to other countries - hence the number is down 1,305 since Sunday.Īccording to the UNHCR, many refugees are continuing on to Romania or Hungary, often to reunite with family.

The UNCHR's figures published Monday said 1,027,603 refugees were now in Ukraine's biggest western neighbour.
Six in 10 of those who have fled Ukraine are now in Poland. Here is a breakdown of where the people who fled across Ukraine's borders now find themselves, according to the UN Refugee Agency: The agency projects that as the conflict unfolds, "an estimated four million people may flee Ukraine", noting that many people were also displaced from their homes within the country. "The military offensive in Ukraine has caused destruction of civilian infrastructure and civilian casualties and has forced people to flee their homes seeking safety, protection and assistance," UNHCR says. More than 37 million people lived under the Kyiv government's control before last week's invasion. UNICEF, the UN children's agency, believes around half of them are youngsters.Īuthorities and the UN expect the flow to intensify as the Russian army advances deeper into Ukraine, particularly as it approaches the capital, Kyiv.
