In a matter of weeks, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has created Europe’s fastest-growing refugee crisis since World War II. This latest escalation in military action comes after eight years of ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine. In fact, before the recent escalation, the UN estimated that 2.9 million people in the country were already in need of humanitarian assistance. Now they expect that figure to increase to as high as 12 million.
