Ukraine War: UN refugee agency said yesterday more than six million people had fled Ukraine, more than half of them going to neighbouring Poland.
Russia faced mounting accusations of war crimes in Ukraine today, including forcing thousands of people into interrogation camps, as the number of refugees reported to have fled the conflict surpassed six million.
The Russian invasion has also led to a seismic policy change by Finland, whose leaders said yesterday the previously neutral nation must apply to join NATO "without delay" triggering a blunt warning of retaliation from the Kremlin.
Throughout the 11-week conflict, Russian forces have been accused of committing atrocities including the killing of unarmed civilians, torture and rape.
CNN and the BBC yesterday released what they said was security camera footage showing Russian soldiers with assault rifles shooting two Ukrainian civilians in the back.
