More than 4.7 million Ukrainians have fled their country in the 50 days since Russia invaded, the United Nations said. Moscow's Black Sea fleet has been blockading the besieged Crimean port city of Mariupol, where Russian officials say they are in full control. But in eastern Ukraine, civilians say they have "no rest" from bombardment, including in Severodonetsk, the last easterly city still held by Ukrainian forces.
"We used to receive humanitarian aid, but now nobody remembers us. Some people try to cook outside on a fire... And boom, boom... everyone has to run back to the basement," Ms Yakovenko said.Beyond the humanitarian crisis, the war's economic consequences - primarily surging food and fuel prices - were "hitting hardest the world's most vulnerable people," IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva warned in Washington.
