The Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 forced almost 10 million people to flee their homes, with about 3.8 million displaced within the country and 5.6 million abroad, but most of them want to stay close to their homes, the UN refugee agency's representative for Ukraine said.
The war between Ukraine and Russia is continuing with "increased intensity" so the continuation of international support funding a humanitarian response is crucial, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) representative Karolina Lindholm Billing said on Friday.
