Four years of unprovoked war. Four years of unbroken resolve. 🇪🇺🇺🇦

The EU firmly stands behind those who have staked so much in fight against Russia's full-scale invasion. We are:

🛡️ Providing temporary protection for over four million Ukrainians

🏗️ Working to help rebuild hospitals, schools, and homes – the country's lifeblood - with €36.8 billion

🇪🇺 Advancing EU accession negotiations because Ukraine belongs in the European family

Our assistance, including €194.9 billion in overall support, is a big part of our answer to restore Ukraine's freedom and independence.

Europe stands for unity. Europe stands for security.
Europe stands with Ukraine.

🇺🇦 Four years since the start of russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine

According to UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency annual Global Trends Report, there were 122.1 million forcibly displaced people by the end of April 2025, up from 120 million at the same time last year, representing around a decade of year-on-year increases in the number of refugees and others forced to flee their homes. The main drivers of displacement remain large conflicts like Sudan, Myanmar and Ukraine, and the continued failure to stop the fighting.
Forcibly displaced people include people displaced within their own country by conflict, which grew sharply by 6.3 million to 73.5 million at the end of 2024, and refugees fleeing their countries (42.7 million people). Sudan became the world’s largest forced displacement situation with 14.3 million refugees and internally displaced people (IDPs), replacing Syria (13.5 million), and followed by Afghanistan (10.3 million) and Ukraine (8.8 million).
The report found that, contrary to widespread perceptions in wealthier regions, 67 per cent of refugees stay in neighbouring countries, with low and middle-income countries hosting 73 per cent of the world’s refugees. Indeed, 60 per cent of people forced to flee never leave their own country.
