KYIV, July 6 – As of June 2023, due to the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, 8.2 million citizens of Ukraine are abroad, which is about 20% of the population that was before the war, the Opora civil network has reported.

"These are the data of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, which the Opora civil network received in response to a request. However, there is no accurate information about the number of Ukrainian IDPs abroad, because different institutions use different calculation methodologies. The support analyzed and compared all available data in order to obtain as accurate indicators as possible," the report says.
