Since the escalation of the war in February 2022, until mid-October 2024, nearly 6.8 million refugees4 from Ukraine have been recorded – 92 per cent of them in Europe. Inside Ukraine, an estimated 3.6 million people5 remain internally displaced as of October 2024.
Among the most vulnerable are also an estimated 12.6 million as of March 2025 people who were not displaced from their homes but who have been directly affected by the war – they have been wounded, their homes have been destroyed, their family members died.
Civilian infrastructure, such as power grids, water supply networks. hospitals transportation infrastructure, have been targeted by the daily missile attacks, severely disrupting people’s lives across the whole country, and particularly in the East.

Immediately after the explosion of a Russian missile in Wyszogród, we were at the scene with assistance. The missile was probably intended to destroy an electrical distribution station or a thermal power station. It destroyed the lives of dozens of families. Officially, 7 people died.
Tonight I was woken up again by the sound of the siren from the app still running in the background. Ukrainians must have gone down to the shelters. But this isn’t just the new normal. It’s not a routine you can get used to.
After each attack, to surface is to return to an increasingly difficult reality. One in which heat, water, light, the ability to contact loved ones and access to information about what to do next all start to disappear. We do not need to go down to the shelter. We do, however, need to keep helping Ukrainians to come out of it. This is what our humanity is about. Not being indifferent to the fact that someone is cold, someone is freezing and someone has nothing to eat. After all, Christmas is also about not being indifferent.
Let us not be indifferent! The Warm Package for Ukraine is a very tangible form of aid. A warm blanket, a sleeping bag, a cooker, a paraffin lamp, a high-energy meal. Join us! Let’s not be indifferent.

On the 11th of June, the Russians fired on a boat with civilians […]

What if this was your neighbourhood? If, between the billowing smoke, you spotted the ruins of the grocery store where you had shopped since you were a child? To which your mother would still send you with a list written in pencil on a piece of paper so you wouldn’t forget anything? Bachmut had more […]
