On 4 April, the Government of Mongolia decided to provide USD 200 thousand in emergency humanitarian assistance to assist the people of Ukraine who are facing hardship in Ukraine and neighboring countries. The assistance will be distributed through UN Crisis Relief and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.

Just one month before Russian troops entered Ukraine, on January 21, Mongolia and Ukraine celebrated 30 years of diplomatic relations. Mongolia is carefully supporting a peaceful dialogue between Russia and Ukraine, while focusing on protection of civilians.

The latest numbers from the U.N. say that there are 6.5 million internally displaced people, which means Ukrainians who have left their homes but are still inside the country. About 4 million have fled altogether. And then on top of all of that, there are 13 more million people still living in the places where the fighting is taking place.
