In response to the unprecedented challenges following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, UNDP Ukraine significantly scaled up its operations, playing a pivotal role in the country's resilience and recovery.

The UNDP Recovery Framework for Ukraine was devised in March 2022 in close consultation with the Government of Ukraine, development partners and UN agencies, and launched in April 2022.

UNDP is helping communities to remove debris and demine, reconstruct housing, energy and social infrastructure, provide basic services and mental health and psychosocial care, and support livelihoods and employment – all of which are priority issues for the Government.
