UATLAS. War migration report
As a result of the Russian attack on Ukraine, over 12 million war refugees - mainly women and children - crossed the border into Poland.
Since the liberation of some of the temporarily occupied territories, over 10 million Ukrainian women and men have returned to Ukraine. The largest number of people decided to legalize their stay in Warsaw, over 100,000, but it is estimated that many more Ukrainian citizens currently live in the capital.
Authors: Rafał Milach, Kateryna Alieksieienko, for the last year they have been collecting accounts of refugees who lived in Warsaw from several months to almost two years. Some of the heroines and heroes of the project decided to return to Ukraine despite the ongoing Russian invasion.
The collected stories feed into the archive of refugee accounts collected from the first days of the full-scale conflict published on the website uatlas.org.
