Forced migrants
The pace of mass exodus has slowed compared to the first half of the war. The total germany rcs data number of forced migrants continues to grow, but now there is an increase of several thousand every two weeks, rather than hundreds of thousands, as was the case from the beginning of the invasion until October 2022.

Ukrainians abroad

"In general, at the time of the data assessment, UNHCR reported 8.3 million Ukrainians abroad, of whom 5.1 million received refugee status in European countries. At that time, the organization included data on people who crossed the border with Russia and Belarus as "Ukrainians abroad." We did not find convincing reasons to trust information from the aggressor countries, so we were forced to conduct our own estimate based on open data. In our calculations, we concluded that as of June 2023, 5.8 million refugees were abroad ," the agency explains.
