The arrival of Russian tanks and bombs in Ukraine has changed the lives of millions of people.
Since the outbreak of the invasion on February 24, at the instigation of Vladimir Putin and his desire to "denazify" Ukraine, more than five million people have fled their country, according to figures from the High Commission of the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) published this Friday.

The UNHCR counted exactly 4,796,245 refugees on Friday and more than 7 million displaced people within Ukraine.
According to the International Organization for Migration (IOM), around 215,000 non-Ukrainians have also fled the country.
This is the biggest refugee crisis in Europe since World War II.
Friday's numbers are up 59,774 from those released on Thursday.
These inhabitants will mainly seek refuge in neighboring countries: more than 2.7 million Ukrainian refugees - nearly six out of ten since the start of the war - have fled to Poland.
More than 725,000 joined Romania.
90% women and children
According to UNHCR figures, nearly 645,000 Ukrainians fled in February, nearly 3.4 million in March and more than 760,000 since early April.
Women and children represent 90% of the refugees, men aged 18 to 60 being called up and therefore unable to leave.
Almost two-thirds of Ukrainian children have been forced to leave their homes, including those still in the country.

The approximately 215,000 third-country nationals who have fled Ukraine – people who are citizens neither of Ukraine nor of the country they entered – are mostly students and migrant workers.
In addition to the refugees, the IOM estimates that there are 7.1 million internally displaced people in Ukraine.
Before the invasion, Ukraine had 37 million inhabitants in the territories controlled by kyiv - which therefore does not include the Crimea (south) annexed in 2014 by Russia, nor the areas of the East under the control of the separatists prorussians since the same year.
