Watch as the United Nations launch the 2023 Ukraine Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) and the 2023 Regional Refugee Response Plan (RRP) for neighbouring countries.
Martin Griffiths, under-secretary-general for the coordination of humanitarian affairs and emergency relief, and Filippo Grandi, UN high commissioner for refugees, briefed the media in Geneva on Wednesday.
The plan launches one year after the war in Ukraine began, tearing apart the nation and causing a humanitarian crisis.
Over the past 12 months, the conflict has recorded devastating casualties and forced the mass displacement of millions of blameless Ukrainians.
More than 157,000 people have fled from the war-torn nation and come to Britain since the beginning of Vladamir Putin’s invasion.
Meanwhile, Mr Grandi, who recently made a trip to Ukraine, accused Moscow of violating “fundamental” child protection principles by giving Russian passports to unaccompanied child refugees.
He also suggested Russia had then been putting these children up for adoption by Russian families.
