Almost three years since the Russian Federation launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the protection and humanitarian needs remain vast among vulnerable populations inside Ukraine and among refugees in neighbouring countries. In Ukraine, the 2025 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP) anticipates that some 12.7 million people will require urgent assistance and protection services, based on a country-wide Multi-Sectoral Needs Assessment (MSNA) that documented heightened levels of household vulnerability and protection risks because of the ongoing war. According to the HNRP, 3.6 million people remain displaced inside the country with some 160,000 people displaced from frontline areas in the east and south following an increase in evacuations between May-October 2024 as hostilities intensified. A further 6.3 million Ukrainians have sought refuge in Europe, with UNHCR’s assessments highlighting ongoing and emerging challenges, particularly as vulnerabilities increase over time. Inside Ukraine, UNHCR will continue working within the inter-agency response to support the Government and its regional and local authorities to efficiently respond to the most pressing humanitarian needs including cash assistance, psychosocial support and emergency shelter, and help war-affected people and communities to recover and displaced people find durable solutions. This will be done through protection counselling, legal aid and capacity support to enhance access to protection services, as well as through home repairs and affordable housing solutions, joined up activities with community-led organizations and recovery and development actors, and by promoting inclusion in national systems and services. In line with the Refugee Coordination Model, UNHCR will support refugee-hosting States through coordination of the 2025-2026 Ukraine Situation Regional Refugee Response Plan (RRP) to support the protection and inclusion of refugees in eleven countries, while providing targeted assistance to the most vulnerable refugees.
