GENEVA (AN) — More than 3 million Ukrainians have fled their country, mostly to Poland, from the Russian invasion in an exodus that is unusually quick, the U.N. refugee agency said on Thursday.
Ukrainian fighters led by Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy have been offering tough resistance that appears to have slowed the Russian invasion. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians have fled their homes amid Russia's multi-pronged invasion of the democratic country of 44 million people, according to the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, or UNHCR.
