What is happening in Ukraine?
At least 142 civilians have been reported killed in the Russian attacks on Ukraine since February 24. More than 160,000 people have reportedly been displaced within the country and over 1 million have been forced to flee into neighboring Moldova, Poland and other European states. Most are women and childen.
Public infrastructure has also been destroyed, meaning thousands of people are without adequate water and electricity, or are unable to reach stores to buy basic necessities because roads and bridges are unpassable. A hospital was also damaged during the initial stages of invasion, another grave breach of international humanitarian law.

What does war mean for Ukraine?
Russia's invasion of Ukraine could displace far more people and cause more human suffering than Europe has seen this century. The world will bear witness to the deaths of innocent civilians, the destruction of homes and infrastructure, and massive displacement of families within Ukraine and beyond.
The impacts of the conflict will be felt not just across Europe but around the globe. The war will also impact food supplies, particularly access to wheat, for countries like Yemen, Libya and Lebanon that are already facing high levels of food insecurity.
