UKRAINE AID SHIPMENTS 2022
UPDATED FRIDAY JANUARY 31, 2025 4:05 PM EST
The Ukraine crisis is now in its third year of conflict. The crisis originally escalated as a result of active conflict that began in February 2022. As of January 2025, over 3.5 million people are displaced within Ukraine and over 6.8 million people, mostly women and children, have fled to neighboring countries and across Europe. More than 12.7 million people need humanitarian aid and support as a result of the crisis.
Matthew 25 works with partners throughout the year to provide humanitarian aid to Ukraine and other areas within the Commonwealth of Independent States. As an outcome of these long-term partnerships, Matthew 25 had supplies on the ground before the invasion that were ready for immediate distribution when the conflict escalated. Matthew 25 has currently shipped more than 5 million pounds of aid to partners in Ukraine and the surrounding countries in support of this crisis, including approximately 2.4 million pounds of aid shipped direct to partners from European corporate product donors. Additionally, Matthew 25 is providing support for the delivery of internally-sourced supplies and for relief programs including feeding, shelter, medical care, essential supplies, transportation assistance, social enrichment and educational services for Ukrainians in need or fleeing conflict. Matthew 25’s aid is reaching more than 20 cities in Ukraine and four of the surrounding countries hosting refugees. Through these supplies and programs, Matthew 25 is helping millions of refugees, orphans, and others in need.
