Addendum: Re-Prioritization of the Ukraine 2025 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (April 2025) [EN/UK]

As Ukraine enters the fourth year of war following the full-scale invasion by the Russian Federation in February 2022, the humanitarian context continues to grow in complexity and severity. Communities across the country are enduring relentless attacks, mass displacement, and the widespread destruction of civilian infrastructure. Front-line areas remain under near-constant shelling, while systematic strikes on energy infrastructure have severely disrupted electricity and other essential services nationwide. In 2025, an estimated 12.7 million people—one in three Ukrainians—will require humanitarian assistance, with the most acute needs concentrated in eastern, southern, and northern oblasts.

These challenges are now compounded by a sharp and sudden contraction in humanitarian funding, driven in part by the suspension of humanitarian programming by the Government of the United States in January 2025, but also by the anticipated reduction of the overall availability of humanitarian funding for the year.

In response to this evolving context, in line with the Emergency Relief Coordinator's call for a ‘Humanitarian Reset,’ and under the guidance of the Humanitarian Coordinator, the humanitarian community in Ukraine has undertaken a principled, evidence-based reprioritization of the 2025 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP). The process was informed by severity data, updated needs assessments, partners presence, and consultations with humanitarian actors.
