A million people have fled Ukraine a week after Russia invaded the country, the head of the United Nations refugee agency said on Thursday.
Posting on Twitter, UNHCR head Filippo Grandi said: "In just seven days, we have witnessed the exodus of one million refugees from Ukraine to neighbouring countries.
"For many millions more, inside Ukraine, it's time for guns to fall silent, so that life-saving humanitarian assistance can be provided."
