“It is crucial to plan ahead and invest in order to ensure that all have access to adequate support and services, and to facilitate their full inclusion in educational and health systems, into the labour market, provide language opportunities, social housing and other needed support. We welcome the decision by the European Union to offer temporary protection to those fleeing Ukraine and I reiterate our readiness to support with implementing the directive.”

“In Ukraine the vast majority of those on the move are women and children, and the risks of gender-based violence, trafficking, and sexual exploitation and abuse are high. Anecdotal information is already coming in about persons approaching the displaced with too good to be true promises of work, accommodation and transport. The first identified cases of trafficking confirm that these risks are coming true.”

“I am compelled note that the concerns of our Western colleagues about Ukraine and Ukrainians are very short sighted and egotistical in nature. Today they are necessary for you merely as cannon fodder in your direct war against the Russian Federation to the last Ukrainian. At the same time, you have your own interests at the top of your mind. The weapons producers in Western countries are eagerly rubbing their hands calculating their profits from increased demand on military products.”

“Since the 5th of March, the Government of Ukraine through the ICRC mediation, offered 348 humanitarian routes. 303 of them were agreed upon, but only 176 took place. As of the 18th of April, more than 290,000 people were evacuated. None of story 38 attempts by the Ukrainian authorities to arrange humanitarian corridors for civilians from Mariupol and Volnovakha was successful due to the unwillingness of Russia.”

“The important thing is to ensure that we do have teams from the ICC on the ground in Bucha and other towns and villages and cities across Ukraine where possible, to make sure that this evidence base is not lost or covered up in some way. And I think that is why it's important that now even in the context of continuing conflict, that we are gathering the evidence to ensure that those responsible can be held to account.”
