More than 1.5 million people reportedly crossed into neighbouring countries since Russia invaded
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has triggered the fasting-growing refugee crisis in Europe since the second world war, according to the head of the United Nation’s refugee agency, UNHCR.
The warning came as video emerged that appeared to show people trying to escape fighting in Irpin, just outside Kyiv, being shelled by Russian forces amid an evacuation that escorted 3,000 people away from the conflict the day before.
