"According to a single database on IDPs, 1,397,304 people were registered from temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea as of August 5, 2019," reads the report.

As UNIAN reported, after the annexation of Crimea by Russia in March 2014 and the beginning of the Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO) in Donbas in April 2014, a large number of IDPs from Crimea and certain regions of Donetsk and Luhansk regions moved to Ukraine-controlled areas.
According to the Social Policy Ministry, the number of registered IDPs from Crimea and Donbas as of June 24, 2019, was 1,386,501 people.
At the beginning of 2019, the number of registered IDPs from Crimea and Donbas was 1,512,435 people.
