The number of refugees fleeing across the borders of Ukraine has reached a grim milestone, the U.N. said, as Russia's siege of key cities across the country extended into Thursday, with Moscow saying it now controls a city in southern Ukraine.
The U.N.'s top refugee official said on Wednesday that 1 million people have now fled across the borders of Ukraine since Russian forces invaded a week ago.
"In just seven days we have witnessed the exodus of one million refugees from Ukraine to neighbouring countries," U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi wrote in a tweet on Wednesday.

Unfortunately many more to come, but everyone seems to be a good job of handling this unprecedented situation.

"How many refugees have fled Ukraine since the war began?
1 million refugees have fled Ukraine since the start of the war The new total of refugees from Ukraine amounts to a little more than 2% of the country's total population of 44 million. The roots of the Russia's invasion of Ukraine go back decades and run deep."
