Europe in the biggest refugee crisis since The World War
As many as 1.5 million people have fled Ukraine to neighboring countries. The ongoing Kiev-Moscow war has seen a sharp rise in the number of refugees since War II.
The UN refugee agency said on Sunday (March 8th)
However, the exact number of refugees has not been updated so far. Filippo Grande, the head of the company, is currently on a visit to Ukraine.
"In just seven days, we've seen a million people," he said in a tweet. From Ukraine, they have taken refuge in neighboring countries.
UN refugee agency spokesman Joangun Gain Williamson said the number of refugees had crossed one million by midnight on March 2. Within a week, more than two percent of Ukraine's population would want to move to another country.
Filippo Grande provided the latest information on refugees during a second round of attempts to evacuate citizens from two Ukrainian cities, Mariupol and Donovan.

Slovakia, Romania, Poland, Moldova and Hungary are welcoming thousands of refugees. Poland has sheltered the lion's share of Ukrainian refugees. Six and a half million refugees entered the country after the start of the war.
In addition, 98,000 refugees have entered Moldova. France has accused the United Kingdom of having a lack of humanity in handling refugees gathered in the French port city of Calais.
About one and a half hundred Ukrainians wanted to go to the UK to be reunited with their families. But they were told to return and bring visas to the consulates in Paris or Brussels.
French Interior Minister Gerald has accused war-torn refugees of being mistreated.
