The number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Ukraine due to the war unleashed by Russia has reached 7.1 million, according to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) on April 6, which previously estimated this figure at 6.5 -6.7 million
“More than a quarter of Ukraine’s population has been forced to leave their homes. To date, more than 4.3 million refugees have left Ukraine, making this the fastest growing refugee crisis since World War II,” the report on its website says.
According to the UN map, there are about 2.9 million IDPs in western Ukraine, 1.4 million in the central regions on the right bank of the Dnieper, 1.3 million to the northeast of Kyiv, south near Kiev and north of Odessa and Nikolaev – 357 thousand each and on the left bank of the Dnieper in Zaporozhye and Kherson regions – 857 thousand.
As of April 9, according to the Ministry of Social Policy, about 900,000 IDPs were officially registered in Ukraine.
UNHCR also reports that as of 13:00 Kyiv time on April 9, the number of people who left Ukraine since the beginning of the war has reached 4.5 million people.
The flow to leave is gradually slowing down: if in the first 19 days of the war 3 million people left Ukraine, then it took six days to increase by another half a million, then nine, and for the last half a million, eleven days.
The UNHCR specifies that 2.59 million went to Poland, 755.3 thousand to Romania and Moldova, 419.1 thousand to Hungary, 404.4 thousand to Russia, 314.5 thousand to Slovakia, and 19 to Belarus. .1 thousand
At the same time, these data do not take into account the return flow to the entrance.

This allows us to roughly estimate the number of refugees from Ukraine at 3.6 million, while the UN currently predicts it at 4 million.

Citing numerous facts proving Russia’s involvement in the mass death of citizens and the destruction of cities in Ukraine, Zelensky asked the question “Where is the peace that the UN was created to guarantee?”

“The world saw what the Russian military did in Bucha while they kept the city in occupation. The world has yet to see what they did in other occupied places and regions. The geography is different, but the cruelty is the same and responsibility must be inevitable,” the president said.
