KYIV, UKRAINE - FEBRUARY 20: People sing the Ukrainian national anthem during a rally in support of Ukraine held during Maidan Revolution commemoration ceremonies on February 20, 2022 in Kyiv, Ukraine. In February 2014, the months-long Euromaidan protests culminated in violent clashes between protesters and riot police, leading to the deaths of over 100 people and the ousting of president Viktor Yanukovych, who had sparked the protests by rejecting a pact with the European Union in favor of closer ties with Russia. Eight years later, the country again finds itself at center stage in the geopolitical tussle between Russia and the West. (Photo by Chris McGrath/Getty Images)

Skont l-aħħar statistika maħruġa min-Nazzjonijiet Uniti, ‘il fuq minn ħames miljun refuġjat, sallum, ħarbu mill-Ukajna mindu l-qawwiet tar-Russja invadew dan il-pajjiż, fl-24 ta’ Frar li għadda.

L-eżodu allarmanti mill-fruntieri tal-Ukrajna kien ikkonfermat mill-Kummissarju Għoli tan-NU għar-Refuġjati (UNHCR).

Intant, l-Organizzazzjoni Internazzjonali tan-NU għall-Immigrazzjoni (IOM) sostniet li kważi 215,000 persuna li la huma ċittadini tal-Ukrajna u lanqas ċittadini tal-pajjiżi ‘li spiċċaw fihom b’kaġun tal-gwerra, ukoll kienu kostretti jaħarbu mit-territorji Ukreni lejn l-Istati ġirien tar-reġjun.

L-akbar proporzjon tar-refuġjati (mat-2.7 miljuni) ħarbu lejn il-Polonja iżda hu minnu wkoll li wħud minn dawn — issa — anki qed jagħżlu li jirritornaw lejn l-Ukrajna
