Russia-Ukraine international armed conflict: The Red Cross and Red Crescent response one year on

This report looks at how the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement has made a difference in the lives of millions of people affected by this international armed conflict over the past 12 months. Starting with a massive scale up in the response across the region, resources from all parts of the Movement have come together to support those affected and we will continue to provide vital assistance and protection for as long as needed

For the past year, Red Cross Red Crescent Movement components, including ICRC, IFRC and National Societies, have been responding to the humanitarian needs in Ukraine, in bordering countries and in the many places around the world where people who have fled from violence have settled. This has truly been a global response, with 58 National Societies providing on-the-ground,remote, financial and in-kind support to those impacted. Several National Societies have received financial resources from the IFRC emergency appeal to support their own domestic responses. The Ukrainian Red Cross Society – supported by the IFRC and many National Societies – and the ICRC continue to be at the forefront of the response in Ukraine. Whether it’s organizing civilian evacuations, providing first aid and mental health and psychosocial support, supporting health-care facilities, providing safe drinking water or administering cash assistance, Red Cross Red Crescent personnel haven’t wavered in their dedication to helping people across the country.
