Entering five years into the invasion of Ukraine, uncertainty continues
Another year of Russia's full-scale invasion, another year ahead of questions as the extension of the Temporary Protection ends in March 2027.
With a view to that full year ahead, our Project Manager for ICMPD's Eastern Europe and Central Asia Roman Makukha discusses the ongoing complexities of the displaced Ukrainians' situation in the EU; and what the continued attacks mean for those still at home in Ukraine. Our Coordinator for the Ukrainian Consultation and Community Centre (UCCC) in Prague, Anna Kurnytska, also joins us in this episode. She shares the various evolving challenges and growing needs – but also real-life stories of human resilience – of the displaced Ukrainians in the Czech Republic.
Now entering the fifth year since Russia's full-scale invasion, the one common thread that ties everything and everyone together in this conflict is the resolve to continue. For ICMPD and its Ukrainian Consultation Centres across some of the largest-hosting EU Member States, it's the support for the displaced in the EU; helping them navigate life amidst uncertainties. More importantly, for the communities at home in Ukraine, the survival and resilience to continue with life is keeping them warm – even in the winters weaponised by their invaders.
