More than 3 million Ukrainian citizens have crossed the border to Romania since the outbreak of the war in the neighboring country in February last year. Also, over 100,000 have temporarily settled in Romania, and 4,000 have applied for asylum – according to a report made public in the presence of Prime Minister Nicolae Ciucă. At Government level, six working groups were set up by fields of activity, which, together with the UN partners and civil society, allowed a good management of the situation arising from the Russian aggression. At the same time, they facilitated the accommodation of the Ukrainians in a very short time. To manage the humanitarian crisis, so far, the Romanian Government has allocated 565 million euros, of which 200 million euros came from international partners. The aid materialized in free transport, food, clothing, shelter, long-term accommodation, free medical and social interventions and services, access to the labor market and schools.
