Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began on Feb. 24, more than an estimated 3 million people have fled and become refugees and another 6½ million reportedly have been displaced within the country.
It has been called Europe’s largest refugee crisis since World War II and the biggest since the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s. Poland has seen more than 2 million flee into its country, Romania more than 500,000, and Moldova and Hungary more than 300,000 each, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
