Why are we in Ukraine? Three years into the full-scale conflict, approximately 10.6 million Ukrainians have been displaced by fighting, with an estimated 3.7 million people internally-displaced. However, some of the most vulnerable — including children, single mothers, elderly, and disabled people — still live in areas with active hostilities.
More than 36% of Ukrainians will require humanitarian assistance in 2025
2024 proved to be a more turbulent year than was initially anticipated for Ukraine, with a significant increase in hostilities that in some cases doubled in intensity compared to 2023. This has led to further civilian suffering and casualties, as well as evacuation mandates that displaced more people from and within the country’s northern and eastern oblasts. Others remain in areas affected by fighting.
Ongoing attacks have compromised local infrastructure and key services. Attacks on energy infrastructure have left more than 65% of the national power grid damaged or unavailable, an especially critical challenge in winter with temperatures routinely below freezing and widespread fuel shortages. Conflict-driven inflation has further eroded resources for many, and has left many families going further into debt to afford basic essentials amid lost incomes. It has also made emergency response more costly for NGOs: the cost to support collective sites (which in turn support many internally-displaced families), rose by nearly 140% in the last year.
In addition to the physical needs, we are also witnessing a mental health crisis as the result of the conflict, with related trauma affecting everyone from young children to pensioners. Even if peace were to happen overnight, the humanitarian situation will continue to require support as Ukrainians rebuild their lives.
