Professor Gwendolyn Sasse writes about the 1.8 million people in Ukraine displaced as a result of war

Gwendolyn Sasse has written an article for Carnegie Europe (13 February) entitled ‘The Voices of the Displaced in Ukraine and Russia’.

Moreover, about another 1 million have fled from the conflict zone to Russia.
