GENEVA, Dhu Al-Qa'dah 7, 1435, Sep 2, 2014, SPA -- More than one million people have been displaced by the conflict in Ukraine, including 814,000 Ukrainians now in Russia with various forms of status, Reuters cited the UNHCR United Nations refugee agency as saying on Tuesday. Numbers displaced inside Ukraine by the fighting have nearly doubled in the past there weeks to at least 260,000 and more are fleeing, it earlier told a Geneva news briefing. "It's safe to say you have over a million people now displaced as a result of the conflict, internally and externally together," Vincent Cochetel, director of the UNHCR's bureau for Europe, later told reporters. "I mean 260,000 in Ukraine, it's a low estimate, 814,000 in Russia, then you add the rest ... Belarus, Moldova, European Union." --SPA 13:50 LOCAL TIME 10:50 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
