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.

“We are finding it difficult to recover from everything that happened yesterday,” says Jan, our colleague from Dnipro. Fear and tears are being replaced by rage today.
More than 500 rescuers fought all night for the lives of trapped residents of the bombed building. A teenage girl sitting on a pile of rubble on the 5th floor became the heroine of all media reports after yesterday’s attack. She survived because moments before the bombing, she went into the bathroom. Nothing was left of the flat. Her 20 neighbours were not so lucky. A small child is also among the dead.
The hell that the Russians inflicted on the residents of Dnipro yesterday is even more striking today. There are 73 people injured. 38 residents of the block of flats managed to pull themselves out from under the debris. Rescuers searched the area, pausing every now and then to listen silently to the cries for help. Waving to the rescuers from the ninth floor was an elderly woman whose flat had become the edge of the precipice when the rest of the building collapsed. The scale of the tragedy of innocent people has once again shown the whole world the criminal nature of this war.
72 flats have ceased to exist, 164 are uninhabitable. 400 people need a roof over their heads. We are helping to provide them with what they need most at the moment. We help by providing medical assistance, we distribute warm clothes, food. We organise psychological support. We create places where victims of the attack can get warm.
We feel your support. Since yesterday, you have contributed several thousands to the Warm Package fundraiser. But this is not the end. There is much more needed. Yesterday, Kiev was also affected. According to witnesses, who say that the alarm sirens only started to howl after the explosions, it appears that the Russians used a new type of ballistic missile that reaches its target in just a few minutes, making it impossible for air defences to successfully bring it down.
The more evil that takes place at our eastern neighbours, the more good is needed there. Join the fundraiser and be with us, your presence is much needed now!

To our questions about estimated casualty numbers, the most common answer is: “A lot! On both sides!”. Exactly how many no one knows, because getting aid to the occupied territories is like asking the aggressor for an open day in his trenches. 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 […]
