Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb 24. Per the United Nations (h/t CBS News), more than two million people and counting have fled the country since the invasion began.

The UN also reported that at least 364 Ukrainians have died and at least 758 have been injured since the invasion, although the number is believed to be “considerably higher.”
Ukraine’s infrastructure minister, Oleksander Kubrakov, also estimated that there has been about $10 billion in damage to infrastructure since the invasion began, per Reuters.
