One Million Refugees Have Escaped Ukraine

By WMAL.com

A reported one million Ukrainian people have fled their land following Russia’s invasion of the country last week, according to the United Nations.

  • Exodus: this Russian invasion has forced the swiftest exodus of refugees this country, according to the Associated Press.
  • 2,000 civilians: have been killed during the invasion – Ukraine’s State Emergency Service.
  • Where are they going: the majority of escaped Ukranian refugees have re-located to Poland, with others finding their way to Romania, Moldova, Slovakia and Hungary.

The refugee crisis that is unfolding in the wake of the Russian invasion does not appear to be slowing down. Reuters reports that as the conflict intensifies and resources become more scarce the refugee count could grow to 5 million.
