UN launches 2025 humanitarian and refugee response plans for Ukraine, appeals for $3.3 billion
Summary
UN agencies and the government of Ukraine launched 2025 humanitarian and refugee response plans, seeking $3.3 billion to support 8.2 million people affected inside and outside Ukraine.
The United Nations and the government of Ukraine launched coordinated humanitarian aid and refugee response plans for 2025 and appealed for $3,300,000,000 to support 8,200,000 people affected by the crisis within Ukraine and across its borders.
Tom Fletcher, under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs, and Filippo Grandi, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, joined Ukrainian officials in Kyiv to launch the plans. The briefing praised humanitarian workers and partners in Ukraine, saying some 600 partner organizations — more than two-thirds Ukrainian — have been involved in delivering critical assistance over the past three years.
UN officials highlighted the toll of attacks on civilian infrastructure, noting damage to hospitals, energy systems and homes that have reduced access to heat and water and limited education opportunities. The briefing framed continued international support as necessary to preserve hope for displaced and refugee populations and to sustain assistance until security conditions allow return.
Ending: The Security Council was scheduled to receive a briefing later that afternoon on Ukraine; the UN emphasized the need for continued funding and protection of civilians.
