UKRAINE SITUATION
The war in Ukraine triggered a major increase in humanitarian needs due the mass internal displacement within Ukraine as well as refugee outflows. By the end of April, 5,059,110 refugees from Ukraine were recorded across Europe. As of end-April 2025, 3.7 million people were displaced internally within Ukraine.
Drawing on data from ten countries neighbouring Ukraine, the inter-agency SEIS (Socio-Economic Insights Survey) Protection Thematic Report provides key insights into the protection environment for Ukrainian refugees. It covers legal status, child protection, gender-based violence (GBV), access to health and mental health services, and engagement with humanitarian aid. Based on responses from over 8,700 households, the report finds that nearly all refugees hold legal status, with most under Temporary Protection. The majority feel safe reporting child protection concerns, and 95% of aid recipients expressed satisfaction. Nonetheless, essential needs—especially employment, healthcare, and education—remain pressing, particularly for women and persons with disabilities, underscoring the importance of inclusive, needs-based support.
