One million refugees have fled Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion a week ago. While left-leaning articles focus on the refugee crisis that has resulted from the conflict, right-leaning articles focus on Russia’s military might and resources.
A left-leaning article by CNN highlights that half a million of the refugees are children, according to UNICEF. Millions more people are likely to be forced to flee Ukraine.
The Hill published a centrist article reporting that that figure accounts for 2 percent of Ukraine’s population. The new total comes as Russia has taken over its first city in Ukraine.
A right-leaning article by Fox News highlights that Russia has the military resources (conventional and asymmetric) to secure Ukraine decisively and quickly. Putin deployed his military on the border expecting that the threat of invasion would scare Ukraine.
