Ukrainian refugees are beginning to return home

Despite the continuing bloodshed in the east of their country, many Ukrainian refugees are already returning home. The UN Refugee Agency has been tracking crossings at Ukraine’s borders since the onset of the Russian invasion. By June 16th the cumulative number of crossings from Ukraine into neighbouring countries had reached 7.7m. But the tally for the other direction comes to 2.6m, suggesting that up to a third of those who left may be going home.
