Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has driven some 14 million Ukrainians from their homes in “the fastest, largest displacement witnessed in decades”, says the UN's refugee chief.
It means the number of refugees and displaced people worldwide has increased to more than 103 million, Filippo Grandi told the UN Security Council.
Grandi, head of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, said Ukrainians are about to face “one of the world’s harshest winters in extremely difficult circumstances”.
He said it included the continuing destruction of civilian infrastructure that is “quickly making the humanitarian response look like a drop in the ocean of needs”. Humanitarian organisations have “dramatically scaled up their response,” he said, “but much more must be done, starting with an end to this senseless war”.

Putin the Great? St. Putinsberg? Putingrad? Absurd but not unlike the China/Taiwan situation:
"At one time you were part of our realm so I'm reclaiming you and your resources forevermore."
I wonder if Meloni will reclaim the Holy Roman Empire? Maybe Mexico will reclaim Texas.
