I came to Norway just after my visit to countries directly affected by the refugee outflow from Ukraine. I thanked PM @jonasgahrstore, ministers @AHuitfeldt and Mehl, and members of @Stortinget, for the additional humanitarian support announced today in response to the crisis. https://t.co/fOh0yfBs9H

Today the outflow of refugees from Ukraine reaches two million people. Two million.

Men cause futile and cruel wars to prove that they are strong. But it is on the real strength of women that societies must count to remain resilient and to build peace. #InternationalWomensDay https://t.co/otmQGzmPDh

An obvious yet important reminder: humanitarian organizations continue to help those in need everywhere. As we rightly focus on the suffering of the people of Ukraine, and of the Ukrainian refugees, we don’t forget that war and violence also affect millions elsewhere, every day.

I thanked Prime Minister @MorawieckiM for Poland’s generous welcome to refugees from Ukraine, which I witnessed at the border yesterday. We agreed on practical ways in which UNHCR and its partners can support the government’s response to the crisis. https://t.co/yKRPzUo7Sq

At the Polish/Ukrainian border I was impressed by the outpouring of solidarity by communities through Poland in support of refugees: many volunteers in action, and piles of donations everywhere, all effectively organized by border guards and local authorities. https://t.co/QRW5rwXdV7

More than 1.5 million refugees from Ukraine have crossed into neighbouring countries in 10 days — the fastest growing refugee crisis in Europe since World War II.
