People across Britain and the wider world have been deeply moved by the courage and resilience shown by the citizens of Ukraine since their country came under attack from Vladimir Putin’s Russia in February 2022, an invasion that brought international condemnation and has made the aggressor become a pariah state on the world stage.
While many have been caught up in the violent warfare playing out across Ukrainian cities, more than 12 million refugees have been forced to flee for safety in neighbouring states like Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Moldova.
