More than four years into Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine, millions of people continue to rely on humanitarian assistance. In 2026 alone, several exceptionally large attacks have been carried out, with hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles launched against Ukrainian cities in a single night.

The Estonian Refugee Council has been working in Ukraine since 2014. Despite the challenging security situation, our team works every day to ensure that people receive the assistance they need when they need it most. We provide needs-based humanitarian assistance to people most affected by the war – those living near the front line, people evacuated from dangerous areas, and others in particularly vulnerable situations.

Your donation helps us deliver needs-based assistance to those who need it most, providing cash assistance to families, supporting people in restoring their livelihoods, and offering mental health support to help them cope with the impacts of war. Donate today.

In these difficult times, the support shown by humanitarian organisations is invaluable. You do not leave people alone with their troubles."
