The number of refugees fleeing Ukraine could potentially rise to 1.5 million by the end of the weekend from a current 1.3 million, Reuters reported on Saturday, citing the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Filippo Grandi.

Grandi also said most refugees at the moment were linking up with friends, family and other connections already living in Europe, but warned future waves would be more complex.
