“Over 3 million Ukrainians are forced to flee to European countries. In total, 11-12 million IDPs are forced to leave their cities being destroyed by Russian artillery. Just be aware of this figure. Russia destroys the lives of millions of people. Is this not a global humanitarian catastrophe yet?” Podoliak wrote.
