Ukraine has said that Moscow has forcefully deported thousands of people to Russia.
Moscow: More than 1 million people have been evacuated from Ukraine into Russia since its invasion on February 24, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in remarks published early on Saturday.
As per details, the 1.02 million includes 120,000 foreigners and people evacuated from Russian-backed breakaway regions of Ukraine, which Russia recognised as independent just before launching its invasion.
More than 5.4 million people have fled Ukraine since the start of the invasion, according to data from the United Nations (UN).
Moscow calls it a "special operation" to demilitarise and "denazify" its neighbour. Ukraine and the West say Russia launched an unprovoked war of aggression.
