Ukrainian refugees
Fleeing the invasion
Ukrainian refugees are people who fled Ukraine, particularly after Russia's 2022 invasion, seeking safety in other countries.
The term appears constantly in news coverage of the war and European migration policy: Poland has accepted millions of Ukrainian refugees.
The phrase sometimes carries political weight, as Western nations offered Ukrainian refugees faster processing and warmer reception than refugees from other conflicts.
