What are the latest Ukraine displacement statistics?
Total displaced
Ukraine has 3.7 million internally displaced people and 6 million refugees abroad in 2026, with 14.6 million requiring humanitarian aid. Data is updated by UNHCR, OCHA and IOM on monthly cycles.
Ukraine displacement statistics are compiled from three primary streams: UNHCR registration data for refugees and asylum seekers, IOM DTM round assessments for internal displacement, and OCHA Humanitarian Needs Overviews for affected-population totals. Each data partner publishes on a different cadence, so headline numbers should always be paired with their reference date.
Because the Russian Invasion of Ukraine began in 2022, the displaced population includes both newly displaced households and people in protracted displacement of ten years or more. Disaggregation by age, sex, disability, and location of displacement is available through the cluster system but not always published in real time.
