Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has left many scared, hurt, lost and even homeless. Over two million people have already fled. As the war continues, the military conflict escalates and civilian casualties rise.

For people that follow us, we hope this serves as a useful resource and that it gets seen by whoever needs to see it. 

Here is a list of countries that are currently accepting refugees.
