Places where Ukrainians are fleeing

on

 

The UN's figure is based on research by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) carried out between 9 and 16 March.

Of the 2,000 internally displaced people it surveyed:

  • nearly 30% had come from Kyiv, more than 36% had fled from the east of Ukraine and 20% had come from the north

  • nearly 40% were now in the west of Ukraine, with less than 3% in Kyiv

  • only 5% had left their homes in anticipation of the invasion, with the vast majority fleeing either at the start of the war or when it reached their area

The IOM (International organization for Migration) estimates that more than half of the people who are internally displaced are women, and many are deemed particularly vulnerable because they are pregnant, have a disability or are a victim of violence.




Refugees are also crossing to neighboring countries to the west, such as Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary and Moldova.

The UN says that as of 21 March, 3.5 million people have left Ukraine:

  • Poland has taken in 2,113,554 refugees

  • Romania 543,308

  • Moldova 367,913

  • Hungary 317,863

  • Slovakia 253,592

  • Russia 252,376

  • Belarus 4,308

Some people have travelled from Moldova into Romania and so are included in both countries' totals, the UN says.
