This report is the first in a series of periodic ACAPS reports capturing key recent developments and analysing humanitarian trends in the most crisis-affected oblasts of Ukraine. This report in particular discusses the May–July analysis period. 

An estimated 1.7 million people need winterisation assistance before the upcoming colder temperatures in Ukraine. Temperatures are expected to start dropping in October and reach their lowest in January–February. The conflict resulting from the Russian invasion that began on 24 February 2022 has damaged homes, as well as gas, electricity, and heating infrastructure.

This report aims to highlight the impact of the conflict on education within Ukraine and the main challenges the education system will face in the next school year - set to start on 1 September.

This report aims to highlight the situation of people moving back into their places of habitual residence in Ukraine. It looks at their motivations for moving back, presents the scale of their movement and the main locations involved, and provides a comprehensive overview of their humanitarian situation. 
 

This report provides an oblast-level analysis of access constraints in Ukraine to inform humanitarian responders and provide a comparison of access dynamics across different oblasts. This analysis is based on a severity model developed by ACAPS using the internal data collection of publicly available secondary sources as at 20 June 2022. Key informant interviews also complement this model.

This report aims to inform international humanitarian responders about the national and local systems and the local response within Ukraine. The report relies on the secondary data review of public and non-public sources and 77 key informant interviews.

Approximately 3.5 million people have arrived in Poland from Ukraine since 24 February 2022. This number corresponds to roughly 53% of the 6.5 million people who have fled Ukraine because of the war. Although many Ukrainians choose Poland, it is uncertain how many migrants and refugees intend to stay in Poland and how many have already moved to other locations.

This report provides an overview of the humanitarian situation in these areas and highlights critical needs and information gaps. We have reviewed secondary data from public and non-public sources, and between 1–15 April, the team conducted key informant interviews with Ukrainian civil society members.

As at 28 March 2022, more than four million people had crossed international borders since the start of the hostilities in Ukraine on 24 February 2022. The rapid influx of migrants and refugees into the country has already posed a challenge to reception capacities, which the Hungarian Government has reduced in recent years to discourage migration.

The report aims at providing an overview of the situation of displaced and stranded people inside Ukraine, including their humanitarian needs. It also analyses the information landscape to identify gaps. 

On 24 February 2022, the Russian Government announced a large-scale military operation against Ukraine. UNHCR projected that at least 100,000 Ukrainians would arrive in Moldova by July 2022 as a result of the crisis in Ukraine.

This report explores the possible impacts of escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine on the humanitarian situation in Donbas and potentially the rest of the country. It presents the response capacity and various operational constraints faced by responders. It also analyses the factors that may increase needs and potential key humanitarian concerns in the coming months. 

Since 2014, persisting armed conflict between the Ukrainian government and pro-Russian separatists in Donetsk and Luhansk provinces (oblasts) in eastern Ukraine has caused over 3,000 civilian deaths, some 9,000 casualties, and internally displaced about 1.3 million people. Currently an estimated 5.2 million are affected by the conflict in eastern Ukraine, in particular people living within 20km on each side of the contact line that divides government-controlled areas (GCA) and non-government-controlled areas (NGCA).

The Multi-­Sector Needs Assessment provides an overview of needs in Eastern Ukraine, based on reports from households and key informants. It is an initiative of the Ukraine NGO Forum to seek greater understanding of needs across the affected area.
