Ukraine

More than three years into the full-scale war, the humanitarian needs in Ukraine remain staggering. Since February 24, 2022, millions of Ukrainians have been forced to flee their homes, resulting in the largest displacement of people in Europe since World War II. As of 2025, an estimated 12.7 million people across the country require humanitarian assistance. Around 3.7 million people are still displaced within Ukraine, and a further 6.7 million have sought refuge abroad — including 6.2 million now living in countries across Europe.

Behind these figures are families separated, communities uprooted, and lives disrupted. Many people continue to live close to active hostilities, where safety is fragile and access to essentials like clean water, food, electricity, or medical care can be limited or unpredictable. Even in parts of the country further from the fighting, life is far from normal. Displaced people face the challenge of starting over in unfamiliar places, often with limited resources. 

We have supported the war-affected people in Ukraine since 2014. As the situation evolves, so does our response. We continue to adapt our programmes to meet people’s most urgent needs, helping people stay safe, regain stability, and rebuild their lives.
