Tense situation in Ukraine

The situation in Ukraine remains tense, particularly in frontline zones where active hostilities are ongoing.

The evacuation activities and the creation of conditions for the temporary residence of internally displaced persons reflect the state's efforts to ensure safety and support for those affected by the conflict.
