Twelve million people need assistance currently because of the military aggression against Ukraine. More than 6.5 million are displaced internally. And in less than three weeks, over 4.2 million people have left Ukraine and fled into neighbouring countries. At least 2 million among them are women and children. Since the conflict began, nearly every second, one child from Ukraine becomes a refugee.
