Russia steps up attacks on key Ukrainian cities as refugees reach 1 million
VINNYTSIA, Ukraine — As Russia stepped up its assault on key Ukrainian cities for a seventh day on Wednesday, the deadly fallout for Ukrainian civilians and economic repercussions on Russian citizens continued to grow.
In the week since the invasion began, more than 1 million people have left Ukraine for neighboring countries, the U.N. refugee agency said.
“For many millions more, inside Ukraine, it’s time for guns to fall silent, so that life-saving humanitarian assistance can be provided,” Filippo Grandi, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, tweeted Wednesday night.
