The IOM warns that millions of Ukrainians face the danger of displacement as winter approaches.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has warned that millions of Ukrainians who had previously returned to their homes face the risk of secondary displacement this winter. This potential crisis is driven by ongoing Russian attacks on energy infrastructure and the resulting damage to residential housing throughout the country.

The alert highlights the precarious living conditions for those who attempted to return after fleeing the initial stages of the war. With the onset of winter, the combination of destroyed energy systems and compromised shelter poses a significant threat to the safety and stability of millions of individuals currently residing in Ukraine.
