The Russian invasion of Ukraine has driven more than 2 million people out of the country, according to figures tracked by the United Nations refugee agency. The exodus is historic, U.N. officials said: The number of refugees fleeing Ukraine in less than two weeks is equal to the flow of mainly Syrian refugees into Europe in 2015 and 2016.

Among those who have fled Ukraine are 1 million children, according to James Elder, a spokesman for UNICEF.

Here’s what the scene looked like at one train station in Ukraine where women and children said goodbye to those staying behind, including the men fighting the invasion.
