Ukrainian ombudsman reports 8.5 million citizens left country since 2014

Ukraine's human rights ombudsman, Dmytro Lubinets, reported that 8.5 million Ukrainians have departed the country since the start of Russian aggression in 2014, with over 5.7 million leaving after the full-scale invasion in 2022. This figure was announced at the Summit of World Ukrainians. Separately, the civilian man killed on his property in the Vorozhba community of Sumy Oblast following Russian shelling on June 6 was identified as Dmytro Voropai. Earlier reports of three fatalities in Zaporizhzhia Oblast from guided aerial bombs near a public transport stop in Balabyne village were confirmed, alongside infrastructure damage. Russian-appointed officials in occupied Kherson Oblast reiterated that a bridge near Chonhar, a vital link to Crimea, sustained damage from unmanned aerial vehicles, leading to the continued redirection of traffic.
