Russian forces are currently in control of almost a fifth of Ukraine’s territory. Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in 2022, millions of Ukrainians have fled the fighting by traveling east across the border into Russia.

Since last August, the only option is to go through Belarus, a Russian ally. There is only one remaining open border crossing between Belarus and Ukraine in Domanove. This route only works for Russian passport holders.
