Dear John,

Thank you for following the developments in Ukraine.

I want to provide you with an update we received straight from Kryvyi Rih in central Ukraine. Despite great security and logistical challenges, our UNHCR colleagues have managed to deliver the first batch of blankets, sleeping mats and other key aid items, where more than 700 Ukrainians have arrived over the past days seeking safety.

We need your help to keep up our efforts in the region.

They are just some of the many thousands of people who have fled their homes over the past days.

As people are fleeing the military offensive for safety and shelter, we are in constant touch with internally displaced people across Ukraine, to identify what they need and we are determined to stay and provide humanitarian support wherever possible.

We cannot continue this work without you.

Thank you,

Breno Valentini
