110,000 Have Fled to Russia From Ukraine United Nations Says
More than 100,000 Ukrainians have fled for neighboring Russia and tens of thousands more have been displaced within the country as the government fights a pro-Russia insurgency, the United Nations refugee agency said on Friday.
Since the beginning of the year, roughly 110,000 Ukrainians have entered Russia though only 9,600 have requested asylum. The U.N. said many of the refugees are seeking other forms of legal status for their stays in Russia because of worries they could be targeted if they return to Ukraine.
The U.N. said more than 16,000 people were displaced within the country over the past week, when the situation worsened in eastern Ukraine, where pro-Russian separatists have waged an insurgency for the past two months. The refugees cite "worsening law and order, fear of abductions, human rights violations and the disruption of state services," the U.N. said.
Roughly 54,000 refugees have fled their homes but stayed within the country, according to the U.N. Of those, 12,000 are from Crimea, which was annexed by Russia earlier this year, while the rest are from the eastern part of Ukraine.
