KYIV, 22 March 2022, (TON): Nearly 3.5 million Ukrainians have now fled the country following Russia’s invasion, the UN said, praising neighbouring countries for showing overwhelming compassion towards their extreme plight.

More than 10 million people,e over a quarter of the population in regions under government control are now thought to have fled their homes, including the millions of internally displaced people.

UNHCR, the UN refugee agency, said 3,489,644 Ukrainians had fled the country since Russia invaded on February 24, a figure up 100,600 on Sunday’s update.

UNHCR chief Filippo Grandi said “over the last four weeks, the world has watched in disbelief. Countless lives have been lost while millions of others have been completely upended.”
