The real numbers are likely much higher.Ī year of war has caused widespread destruction, reducing some cities to rubble, damaging or destroying hundreds of thousands of homes along with critical infrastructure and leaving millions of people with limited or no access to electricity, water or heat. The UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine reports that from February 24 to December 26, 2022, 6,884 civilians in Ukraine had been killed and 10,974 injured. In Ukraine, 6.3 million people are internally displaced, and 6.9 million people are sheltering in place. One year later, 17.7 million people need humanitarian assistance and nearly 8 million refugees from Ukraine have been recorded across Europe.
Even as Ukrainian forces made significant ground gains, strikes by Russia against Ukraine on civilian targets exacerbated concern for humanitarian needs in winter. On the morning of February 24th, 2022, Russian forces launched a multi-pronged invasion by land, air, and sea on Ukraine.
