peribiden More than five million people have escaped from Ukraine since the Russian invasion, the United Nations figures showed on Friday, in the refugee crisis that was the fastest growing in Europe since World War II.
UNHCR, the UN refugee body, said 4,796,245 million Ukraine had left the country since February 24.
The United Nations International Organization for Migration (IOM) said that almost 215,000 third citizens also fled to neighboring countries.
Friday’s figures from UNHCR rose 59,774 concerning those issued Thursday.
More than 2.7 million Ukrainian refugees – almost six out of 10 who have gone since the war begins – has fled to Poland. More than 725,000 reach Romania.
The UNHCR image shows nearly 645,000 Ukrainians fled in February, with almost 3.4 million did it in March and more than 760,000 went so far this month.
Women and children contribute 90 percent of those who fled, with men aged 18 to 60 who qualified for military calls and could not leave.
Nearly two-thirds of all Ukrainian children were forced from their homes, including those still in the country.
Nearly 215,000 third citizens have escaped – people who are not Ukrainians and countries they enter – mostly students and migrant workers.
Beyond the refugees, IOM estimates 7.1 million people leaving their homes but still in Ukraine.
Before the invasion, Ukraine had a population of 37 million in the region under the control of the government, not including the Crimea that was annexed by Russia and the region controlled by pro-Russian separatists in the east.
