Within Ukraine, over 6.6 million people remain displaced by the war. As of today, UNHCR estimates there are over 6.8 million refugees present across Europe. Over 3.9 million refugees from Ukraine have registered for temporary protection or similar national protection schemes. More than 11.5 million movements out of Ukraine have been recorded since 24 February, with close to five million movements back into the country.
