More and more are returning – either to visit relatives or to return home. Data from the Polish border service show that 22,000 people crossed into Ukraine on Saturday, while 19,200 left. Some return to see their family, perhaps only for a few days, and stay close to the border before returning. Others are heading to their homes and saying they will stay, despite warnings from officials such as Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko who said it was not yet safe to return to the city. According to the United Nations, millions of people have fled Ukraine since the start of the war – but more than 650,000 have now crossed over to Poland.
