Two years of our help to Ukraine: How Caritas Czech Republic supports the affected people

It has been two years since the Russian invasion of Ukraine and escalation of the war.  During this time, the situation remains challenging both on the battlefield and in the living conditions of Ukrainians. Russian missiles and drones continue to target various settlements in Ukraine, while Ukrainians persist in fighting for their land or seeking refuge from the war. Caritas Czech Republic has been assisting affected Ukrainians since the beginning of the conflict, providing support both within Ukraine and abroad.
