Ukrainian citizens who have fled their country since the beginning of the Russian invasion on February 24 today reached 6.11 million, a figure that even exceeds the exodus that in recent years of political and economic crisis has occurred from Venezuela , of 6 million people.
According to figures updated daily by the United Nations Refugee Agency, more than 30,000 departures from Ukraine have been registered in the last 24 hours.
ACNUR also indicates that more than 1.7 million Ukrainians have re-entered their country since the beginning of the war, although it stresses that in many cases it could be pendular movements (people who enter and leave often) that do not show in no case a stable flow of returnees.
Poland remains the main host country for this Ukrainian exodus, with more than 3.3 million entries, followed by Romania with 901,000 (many of them after first passing through Moldova), Russia with 800,000 and Hungary with almost 600,000. .
To these refugees must be added the internally displaced persons within Ukraine due to the conflict, which according to the United Nations exceed 8 million.
In all, more than 14 million people, roughly a third of Ukraine’s national population, have been forced from their homes by the war in less than three months, making it one of the fastest growing refugee crises have evolved in recent decades.
The crisis is also the worst in Europe since the end of the Second World War (1939-45).
