Since Russia launched a full-scale military invasion into Ukraine on February 24, 2022, fighting has caused internal displacement for more than seven million people, according to the United Nations. Moreover, another five million Ukrainians had to flee to neighboring countries – the majority of which are part of the Danube Region: Moldova, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary.

Other EUSDR countries such as Czech Republic, Germany, Croatia, Bulgaria, Austria and Croatia are also actively involved into supporting the Ukrainian refugees. It is currently unknown how long the war would last and how many people will be forced to leave their homes.

Who we are

Since 2012 Social NGO Network promotes social dialogue, social inclusion, develops joint actions and partnerships in the Danube region, in order to improve public policies, participation and regional development. EUSDR Network Ukraine is a new coordinated initiative aims at bringing together NGOs from the Danube Region developing a network of coordinated solutions for displaced people and refugees from Ukraine.
