Administrator Power joined President Biden in Poland this weekend where many of the 3.8 million Ukrainian refugees have fled the ongoing violence in Ukraine. More than a month has passed since Russia began its assault on the country. USAID continues to support refugees with humanitarian aid. And inside Ukraine, we’re working to meet the needs of internally displaced persons. More aid is on the way. On Saturday, Power, Biden, and other U.S. officials bore witness to the horrors caused by the conflict and reaffirmed our commitment to support the Ukrainian people.
