WELCOME NOTE
As we reflect on more than two years since the escalation of the international armed conflict between the Russian Federation and Ukraine, the situation remains dire, with ongoing human suffering and widespread displacement affecting both Ukraine and beyond. Daily reports of shelling and destruction serve as a stark reminder of the persistent crisis faced by many people in Ukraine. Since the onset of the conflict, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and our member National Societies across the Europe region and globally have been steadfast in response efforts. Through various programmes including Cash and Voucher Assistance, Health and Care, Migration and Displacement, Protection, Gender and Inclusion, Relief, and Shelter, we have strived to provide essential support to affected communities. We are pleased to present our Federation-wide two-year report, showcasing the impact of our collective efforts in alleviating the suffering of those affected by this crisis. However, we recognise that the road ahead remains challenging, and the need for continued support is paramount. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our donors whose generosity has provided the flexibility needed to address evolving needs on the ground. Additionally, we express appreciation to our valued partners and the dedicated staff of the Ukrainian Red Cross and all the responding National Societies for their unwavering commitment to serving the most vulnerable amidst these trying times. Together, let us remain determined in our mission to provide assistance and relief to those affected by the international armed conflict in Ukraine and impacted countries.
