Peacekeeping and Security
Foreword
Throughout 2023 the war continued to wreak havoc in Ukraine. The killing and injury of thousands of civilians including children the targeting of civilian infrastructure the disruption of livelihoods and vital social services and prolonged displacement have triggered a massive humanitarian and protection crisis. The truth is that one year since we launched the previous Humanitarian Response Plan the situation in the country has become even more extreme. As the war ravages villages and towns close to the front line humanitarian needs in these areas are reaching catastrophic levels. The situation cannot improve unless the war stops.
Foreword by the humanitarian coordinator
Since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 by Russian forces the lives of countless women men and children have been torn apart and so many have needlessly died. The common thread running throughout the year has tragically been one of destruction displacement and suffering from continuous shelling and air strikes. Millions were forced to leave Ukraine and become refugees and millions more have been displaced within the country.
