“...
the need for humanitarian aid was rising, particularly around the
cities of Donetsk, Kharkiv and Kyiv, and in the Dnipropetrovsk and
Zaporizhzia regions. Ukraine's internally displaced population is
estimated at 430,000 people, some 170,000 more than at the start of
September.”
“Some
95 per cent of the displaced are from eastern Ukraine and are
concentrated in Donetsk, Kharkiv, Kyiv and other cities. In all of
these areas, UNHCR has been distributing aid among the most
vulnerable.”
“While
the majority of the displaced people are staying in rented
accommodation or with family and friends, at least 14,000 are
currently living in collective centres.”
“... in
the Russian Federation, more than 207,000 Ukrainians have applied for
refugee status or temporary asylum since the beginning of this year,
according to the Federal Migration Service. In addition, some 180,000
Ukrainians have applied for other forms of legal stay in Russia, such
as temporary or permanent residence permits. A larger number of
Ukrainians are arriving in Russia under the visa-free regime between
the two countries.”
“As of
the end of September, more than 6,600 Ukrainians had requested asylum
in European Union (EU) countries, compared with 903 applications
during the whole of 2013. The EU country receiving the largest number
of Ukrainian asylum seekers has been Poland (1,632), followed by
Sweden (841). In addition, 581 Ukrainians have sought asylum this
year in Belarus.”
