Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that up to 20 million Ukrainians could flee to Europe if Russia wins the war, speaking to journalists at an EU summit in Brussels on October 16. Zelensky said Russian shelling is forcing people to leave the country, adding that Moscow shows no willingness to stop the conflict. He stated that Russia is "killing us" and pushing Ukrainians out of their homeland. The warning comes before the fifth winter of full-scale war, expected to be severe due to Russian bombardments. Over 4 million Ukrainians currently hold temporary protection in EU countries, following Europe's largest refugee crisis since World War II.
