The invasion has sent millions of Ukrainians fleeing towards neighbouring Romania, Hungary, and Moldova, with authorities there scrambling to accommodate the influx. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has forbidden men between 18 and 60 from leaving the country although they are not obligated to enlist. As a result of this, most of those crossing the borders are women, children, and the elderly.
