✴️How dangerous is this invasion for Europe?
➡️These are terrifying times for Ukrainians as bombs rain down on cities and civilians rush to Cold War-era bomb shelters,bunkers made in school, Subway basements buildings.
➡️Thousands have died already , thousands are found wounded and in extreme conditions. Russia's onslaught has prompted hundreds and thousands of people to flee across Ukraine's borders.
➡️ Poland, Hungary, Romania, Moldova and Slovakia are seeing a big influx, while the EU suggests more than seven million people could be displaced.
➡️This massive destruction will leads to distress the economic pressure , refugees resettlement ,creating new infrastructure and many more.
➡️The Ukrainian refugee crisis is the large ongoing movement of people in and out of Ukraine during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
According to the UN children's agency UNICEF, about half a million of those who fled are teenagers. The head of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights for Public Affairs, Gedini Williams, called the speed of the exodus of refugees from Ukraine "phenomenal" and suggested that the number of internally displaced persons in Ukraine itself is at least as high as this figure.
➡️Organizations such as UNICEF, the United Nations Refugee Agency, International Rescue Committee, United Ukrainian American Relief Committee and others began accepting monetary donations for helping refugees and those affected by the crisis. Others such as the The Kyiv Independent began GoFundMe campaigns to raise money for specific causes or calls for physical items to be donated by an individual.
➡️Western powers are in talks about a ban on Russian oil and gas imports to creat the economic pressure over Russian market. The U.S. and its allies are having an "active discussion" about banning such imports from Russia, while ensuring there's enough of an oil supply for the rest of the world. The Biden administration fears what that could mean for gas prices, but an energy imports ban would also deprive Russia of a large source of revenue.
