Ukraine: context and trends analysis May – July 2022

Between May–July 2022, conflict continued destroying civilian infrastructure, disrupting services, and causing civilian casualties and displacement. In late June, conflict intensified in Donetsk oblast, increasing the number of violent incidents involving civilians. Despite an overall decrease in the number of IDPs, displacement from southern and eastern oblasts has increased, especially starting mid-June. Humanitarian access remains the most constrained in all oblasts along the frontlines (Donetsk, Kharkiv, Kherson, Luhansk, Mykolaiv, and Zaporizhzhia).

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.
