The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said that over 4.6 million Ukrainian refugees have fled their country since the start of the Russian offensive on February 24.
According to a UNHCR tracking website, a total of 4,615,509 refugees have fled Ukraine.
Registered Ukrainian refugees and Asylum seekers reached 53,474 worldwide, and 36,492 in the UNCR Europe region, the same source added.
The UN agency reports a slight decrease in arrivals since the start of the geopolitical crisis.
Additionally, Poland tops the ranking with the highest number of Ukrainian refugees, totaling 2.669.637, ahead of Romania with a total of 709,249, and Hungary with a total of 434,342.
In total, almost 12 million people, or more than a quarter of the population, fled their homes either displaced by crossing the border into neighboring countries or finding refuge elsewhere in Ukraine.
Previously, the UN organization wrote on Twitter, “this is the fastest-growing refugee crisis since World War II.”
