On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine, crossing the border from several points on the eastern, northern, and southern border. The attack has prompted massive displacement of people within Ukraine. More than 4 million refugees have entered neighboring countries and that number is rising as the fighting continues.
If your company is looking to provide humanitarian support for the Ukrainian people, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation has compiled the following resources. We will continue to update this list as more information and resources become available. For any questions, please reach out to ccc@uschamber.com.
