A total of 5.91 million people have fled Ukraine since the Russian offensive took place on February 24, according to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees’ latest data (UNHCR).

53,474 people have fled across the world, while 36,492 are displaced in the UNHCR Europe region.

Additionally, Poland tops the countries with the highest number of Ukrainian refugees with a total of 3.23 million, ahead of Romania with a total of 883,655, and the Russian Federation with a total of 739,418.

In the first five weeks, over 4 million refugees from Ukraine crossed borders into neighboring countries, and many more have been forced to move inside the country, said UNHCR.
