 Today, we have reached another tragic milestone of the crisis in Ukraine. Six and a half million people are estimated to be displaced in the country. This is in addition to the more than three million refugees who have been forced to flee across Mordor in search of safety. Concretely, this means that one of every four Ukrainians have been already uprooted by law. Alongside these staggering numbers of people forced to flee, we know that 12 million people are estimated to be stranded in affected areas and unable to move to safety because of hostilities. They have risks of hostilities, destruction of bridges on the roads, and lack of resources and information of where to find safety. All of this is blocking their movement and their capacity to make safe choices. Protection and humanitarian actors, many of them local organizations on the front lines, are delivering life-saving assistance. These efforts are nothing short of heroic and must continue to be supported. However, in discriminant attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure continue. Security concerns are locative and humanitarian aid is unable to reach people in many, many areas of the country. The protection of all communities, all communities impacted by this conflict must remain the absolute priority for diplomatic and humanitarian action. The latest figures we issue today show the enormous scale of internal displacement and they only serve to further underline the urgency of the situation inside Ukraine. Without cessation of hostilities, this terrible protection and displacement crisis will continue to go.
