> Ukraine is a war zone - like Syria in 2011

Um, no, not at all. The actual conflict is confined to fairly small parts of two provinces in the east of Ukraine, and even there it's mostly "frozen" at this point. If you're on the separatist-controlled parts, things are complicated, partly because of ongoing hostilities, and partly because of being governed by an administration that is not officially recognized by anyone, and that isn't really good at governing. So that's where the refugees come, mostly. But most of the rest of the country is not affected by the war in a way people were in 2011 in Syria. As in, no worries of enemy troops marching in and kicking you out of your apartment, no shellings, no bombings etc.
