“The war doesn't stop. It doesn't stop on Christmas Day. And we can still hear the shelling in the background. And so, no matter what day of the year it is, people in these communities need support. So, we're here, and I think it's particularly important on this day to show the solidarity of the international community with the people of Ukraine who are suffering the impact of the war that Russia brought in February 2022 to Ukraine.”

“We're delivering winter supplies. It's cold. We've got clothes, we've got mattresses, blankets, solar lamps, all of the supplies, essential supplies that we deliver along the frontline communities in Ukraine so that people can stay in their homes over these very difficult winter months.”

“The importance of this is not just bringing supplies, but bringing moral support, bringing our presence, protection by presence. Also, the assistance to the internally displaced, those who had to flee their homes and who are in other parts of the country continue, but alongside also ensuring that the medical services and psychosocial services continue to support to victims of conflict related sexual violence or gender-based violence.”

As a convoy of emergency winter supplies was delivered to frontline communities in Ukraine on 25 December, the United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator in the country, Denise Brown, said the war “doesn't stop on Christmas Day,” and added, “no matter what day of the year it is, people in these communities need support.”
Brown said, “we're delivering winter supplies. It's cold. We've got clothes, we've got mattresses, blankets, solar lamps, all of the supplies, essential supplies that we deliver along the frontline communities in Ukraine so that people can stay in their homes over these very difficult winter months.”
The Humanitarian Coordinator highlighted the importance of “not just bringing supplies, but bringing moral support, bringing our presence, protection by presence.”
Additionally, she said, assistance to the internally displaced, medical and psychosocial services, as well as support to victims of conflict related sexual violence, are also being provided.
Brown said, “they need support in order to manage their everyday life. So, we put in place a system well over a year ago delivering to the frontline to make sure that in one go we bring people what they need.”
Since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces in February 2022, millions were forced to leave Ukraine and become refugees, and millions more are now displaced within the country.
Approximately 17.6 million people – 49 per cent of the current population – now need humanitarian assistance and protection, a vast increase from more than 3 million people who needed aid at the start of 2022.
