A spokesman for the United Nations says it now estimates that 2.3 million people have fled Ukraine as a result of Russia's attack on the country.

Spokesman Stephane Dujarric also said Thursday that 1.9 million have been internally displaced, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.

"Civilians, whether they stay or leave must be respected and protected. Safe passage is needed for humanitarian supplies and we need a system of constant communications with parties to the conflict," he said.

Many were hoping to be allowed to evacuate safely through agreed-upon humanitarian corridors on Thursday, but several past attempts have failed amid continued Russian shelling.

The foreign ministers of Russia and Ukraine met in Turkey for the highest-level talks between the countries since the invasion began, but they agreed on little.

Because of the economic crisis that always comes up the best thing to be on every wise individual’s mind or list is to invest in different streams of income that’s not depending on the government to generate funds.
