The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) expects that the total number of Ukrainian refugees fleeing their country will reach 8.3 million.

Currently, the number of people who have fled Ukraine totals 5.2 million.

The UN organization said millions of Ukrainians have fled, either displaced by crossing the border into neighboring countries or finding refuge elsewhere in Ukraine since the outbreak of the Russian offensive on February 24.

Poland leads the countries with the highest number of Ukrainian refugees, totaling 2.9 million, ahead of Romania with 782.593, and the Russian federation with 614.318, according to UNHCR’s latest data tracker.

Previously, the UN organization wrote on Twitter, “this is the fastest-growing refugee crisis since World War II.”
