The number of Ukrainians who have fled their homes since Russia's invasion of Ukraine earlier this year has reached 14 million, according to the latest United Nations data.
, Erol Yayboke said that some of these Ukrainian refugees"report voluntarily moving through Russia as a means of eventually reaching the European Union." Yayboke is director and senior fellow for the Project on Fragility and Mobility at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington, D.C., think tank.
The refugees interviewed held high levels of education with 46% having a university degree or higher degrees, and 29% have vocational training. They also had diverse professional experiences, particularly in services and trade-related sectors. The top three urgent needs of the refugees were cash, employment and accommodation, and they were most interested in receiving information on financial aid services and work opportunities, followed by medical care and legal status.
