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.

Their residents will receive thermo-warmers, generators, thermoses and rocket stoves.
We are providing aid in eastern Ukraine on an ever-increasing scale. We thank you very much for every single zloty that goes into the Warm Package fund. We would also like to thank the Danish organisation Bevar Ukraine and the newspaper Politiken, which has placed its trust in us and continues to supply our warehouses in Ukraine with supplies of the most needed equipment, purchased through a nationwide fundraiser among its readers.
