Based on preliminary data from the first two months of the war we analyze how measurement data indicates the trends in the flow of refugees from Ukraine to its neighboring countries, and onward to other countries. We believe that these insights can greatly contribute to the ongoing international effort to map the flow of refugees in order to aid and protect them.
