Internally displaced

Humanitarian needs

In 2025, about 12.7 million people in Ukraine need humanitarian assistance, including almost 2 million children. 

Energy crisis

Military deaths

The war has resulted in many military deaths on both sides, including non-combat deaths from mines and unexploded ordnance. 

Damage

The war has caused widespread destruction of homes and businesses.
