Ukraine

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.

2 000 schools,

There were over

2 100 attacks

on healthcare facilities, which have claimed at least 197 lives, including those of health workers and patients, and injured many more, severely disrupting health services.

We are getting ready to spend another night at the border. We will attempt to cross it one more time to provide aid on the Ukrainian side.

We are refilling thermoses with hot tea, filling our car with blankets and with dry provisions. We receive invaluable help every day from Sister Małgorzata Chmielewska, the Polska 2050 Association and, of course, from you.

At the same time, we are dealing with as many requests as we can for evacuation from Ukraine and for supplies for those who remain in the war-ravaged country. We are getting signals that Lviv is starting to run out of food, medicines and blood bags, because people want to share them with those fighting in the eastern part of the country.

We can still see the images of last night before our eyes.

Have a look at what the situation was like. Today will be even more difficult, as rain with snow is expected.

We will stay here as long as it takes and we are sure that you will stay here with us!
