Roughly 3 million Ukrainians have fled the country as the Russian invasion closes in on its third week.
The United Nations International Organization for Migration said the number of refugees eclipsed that 3 million mark on Tuesday, while the United Nations Human Rights Council has its current tally right below that threshold.A significant majority, more than 1.8. million people, fled to Poland, whereas no other country has taken in more than half a million.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights reported on Monday that there have been 636 civilians killed, while another 1,125 have been wounded. Roughly 45 children were among those who have been killed. "Almost all of Russia's advances remain stalled," a senior U.S. defense official told reporters on Monday, though it has generally had more success in the southern parts of the country compared to its attempts to topple the capital, Kyiv. The official has previously said Russian forces have struggled to take the capital due to a stronger-than-expected Ukrainian resistance as well as fuel and food sustainment problems.
