Ukraine Civilians Fled

Forced to flee fighting, Lyudmyla was assured the authorities would rehouse her in a town in western Ukraine. But when she arrived, they took one look at her and turned her away.

Nearly 5.4 million Ukrainians have fled their country since Russia invaded two months ago, the United Nations said Thursday, with more than 55,000 leaving in the past 24 hours.

Nearly five million Ukrainians have fled the war since Russia's invasion, the United Nations said Tuesday, sounding alarm at the rapid exodus and voicing concern that the situation may worsen.

Ten million people -- more than a quarter of the population -- have now fled their homes in Ukraine due to Russia's "devastating" war, the United Nations refugees chief said Sunday.

At least 17 people were injured in a Russian air strike at a children's hospital in Ukraine's Mariupol. Ukraine blamed Russia for breaking a ceasefire at the southern port as civilians elsewhere fled the fighting through safe corridors.
