Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians are still fleeing the conflict.

According to the UN refugee agency, 5,133,747 Ukrainians have fled the country since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24.

The figure represents a 48,387 rise over Thursday’s figures, according to UNHCR.

So far in April, 1,098,000 Ukrainians have departed the nation, compared to 3.4 million for the entire month of March.

Women and children make up 90% of those who have left overseas, with men aged 18 to 60 who are eligible for military service unwilling to do so.

An additional 218,000 people of third countries — mostly students and migrant workers — have fled to neighboring nations, according to the UN’s International Organization for Migration (IOM).

In addition to refugees, the IOM estimates that 7.7 million people have been displaced within the country.

Ukraine had a population of 37 million people in government-controlled areas before the invasion, excluding Russia-annexed Crimea and pro-Russian separatist-controlled areas in the east.

Meanwhile, since the war began, 1.1 million Ukrainians have returned home.

According to UNHCR, the following is a breakdown of how many Ukrainian refugees have fled to neighboring countries.

So far, nearly six out of ten Ukrainian refugees — 2,867,241 — have entered Poland.

Many of them have continued on to other countries in the Schengen open-borders zone of Europe.

Meanwhile, more than 800,000 individuals have crossed the Polish-Ukraine border, according to Polish border guards.

Prior to the war, Poland was home to over 1.5 million Ukrainians, the majority of whom were migrant workers.

A total of 769,616 Ukrainians entered the EU member state, with many of them coming from Moldova, which is sandwiched between Romania and Ukraine.

The vast majority of them are believed to have relocated to other nations.

Russia has taken in a total of 578,255 refugees.

Between February 18 and 23, 105,000 individuals walked into Russia from the separatist-held pro-Russian territories of Donetsk and Lugansk in eastern Ukraine.

Hungary has received a total of 480,974 Ukrainians.

The Moldovan border is the closest to Odessa, Ukraine’s biggest port city. By Wednesday, 430,170 Ukrainians had entered the non-EU country, which is one of Europe’s poorest. The majority of people have moved on.

A total of 349,286 persons crossed the shortest border between Ukraine and Slovakia.

Another 23,900 people have been added.
