Tomorrow, 1 March, @UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres will open the meeting in which @UNReliefChief and I will launch an appeal to donors to fund humanitarian activities in Ukraine and support refugees from Ukraine and countries hosting them. We count on a generous response.

The number of refugees from Ukraine who have crossed to Poland, Hungary, Romania, Moldova and other countries is escalating and is now 368,000. The governments and people of those countries are welcoming refugees. It is now urgent to share this responsibility in concrete ways.

More than 150,000 Ukrainian refugees have now crossed into neighbouring countries, half of them to Poland, and many to Hungary, Moldova, Romania and beyond. Displacement in Ukraine is also growing but the military situation makes it difficult to estimate numbers and provide aid.

In touch with colleagues in Ukraine who are sharing the anguish of millions of Ukrainians — and still striving to help those in need. Civilian lives and infrastructure MUST be spared. This fundamental tenet of international humanitarian law is more urgent and crucial than ever.

More than 50,000 Ukrainian refugees have fled their country in less than 48 hours — a majority to Poland and Moldova — and many more are moving towards its borders. Heartfelt thanks to the governments and people of countries keeping their borders open and welcoming refugees.
