<p>As of 8 March, over 2 million people are reported by the UN to have left Ukraine.
We are grateful to Ukraine's neighbouring countries for their support and their confirmation
that their borders will remain open to all those fleeing the conflict. Sadly these
numbers will continue to rise while Putin continues his reprehensible and needless
attack. The best source of statistics on population displacement can be found at https://data2.unhcr.org/en/situations/ukraine.</p><p>We
have deployed UK humanitarian experts to support Ukraine's neighbours, who are receiving
and supporting the increasing flow of refugees. The UK Government has pledged £395
million of aid, which includes £220 million of humanitarian assistance. Our humanitarian
support will help partners stand up their response to the deteriorating humanitarian
situation, creating a lifeline for Ukrainians with access to basic necessities.</p>
