- Summary
Today, four years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the war continues to devastate millions of lives, and many have been forced to leave the country. The latest UNHCR figures indicate that over 5.8 million refugees from Ukraine are currently recorded globally, 90% of whom are in Europe. For many, displacement is no longer temporary but an extended reality marked by uncertainty and fragile living conditions.
Clear, durable and accessible solutions towards integration in host countries and/or safe and voluntary return are essential to reduce risks of exploitation and further abuse.
