The number of refugees fleeing Russia's invasion of Ukraine has dropped dramatically, driven at least in part by social media posts and news coverage suggesting to Ukrainian civilians that their military is winning.

More than 3.9 million Ukrainians have fled the country, according to the United Nations; most of those refugees crossed the border in early March. As the conflict drags on, many Ukrainians say they're committed to their homeland, and the flood of refugees has slowed even as the fighting continues.

Tuesday, a Russian missile slammed into a nine-story government building in Mykolaiv, killing nine people, according to Ukrainian officials. The Russian military said it had drastically reduced its activity near Kyiv, Ukraine's capital – an assertion U.S. officials greeted with skepticism.
