As the full-scale war in Ukraine approaches its fourth year, the United Nations and partners today launch twin humanitarian and refugee response plans for 2025, appealing for US$3.32 billion to support 8.2 million people affected by the crisis within Ukraine and across borders.

The plans – launched in Kyiv with the Government of Ukraine – outline strategies to address the needs of people whose lives have been upended by the war. They also emphasize the importance of international solidarity to sustain critical humanitarian efforts in 2025.

“I am in awe of the Ukrainian people’s determination to carry on in the face of immense hardship,” said UN Humanitarian Chief Tom Fletcher, who just concluded visits to several affected communities across Ukraine. “Those communities are the frontline of the humanitarian response, and they need our support and solidarity as much as ever. Now, we need the international community to get seriously behind these plans so we can show the same sticking power as the people of Ukraine.”

“This is not the time to forget the millions of Ukrainians who have been forced to flee their homes and, for too many of them, their country,” said the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, returning from a visit to several frontline regions of Ukraine, meeting displaced and war-affected people. “Countries hosting Ukrainian refugees abroad have done incredible work over the last 3 years to provide safety and a sense of normalcy to support these refugees in restarting their lives in their new communities, all the while hoping for conditions to change in Ukraine
