  • Descrição: Through April 28, the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights officially recorded 2,829 civilian casualties, but believes the actual numbers are significantly higher.3 Media reports indicate that since “Russian forces withdrew in early April, mass civilian graves have been found in most towns” around Kyiv that the Russians had occupied,4 and satellite images suggest Russian forces dug even larger mass graves near the long besieged city of Mariupol.5 In addition to widespread civilian deaths, the conflict has also caused mass displacement of Ukrainian civilians. 19 Governments worldwide are providing humanitarian aid to Ukraine to address the impacts of the conflict.20 Although the United States is taking in many fewer refugees than countries neighboring Ukraine, it is the largest donor of humanitarian aid to the country.21 According to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), through the end of March, the United States pledged $301 million in humanitarian funding to address the Ukraine crisis. 22 Through April 17, the EU had released €143 million in humanitarian aid,23 as well as developed logistical hubs to deploy medical aid.24 Numerous countries outside Europe, including Australia,25 New Zealand,26 and Japan,27 have also committed varying levels of aid, and non-governmental organizations, such as the International Committee of the Red Cross and World Central Kitchen, have provided support on the ground in Ukraine and neighboring countries.28 However, ongoing fighting has hampered both civilian evacuations and aid delivery.29 Concerns are also increasing about the conflict's effects on food supplies around the world, particularly in low-income countries. Russia and Ukraine export a substantial portion of the world's grain products, including a quarter of the world's wheat supply.30 The COVID-19 pandemic had already increased prices of important commodities like wheat in 2021, but those prices have continued to increase since the invasion.31 Russian ships have blocked Ukraine from exporting wheat via ports on the Black Sea,32 and in order to “‘protect the domestic food market,’” Russia has limited its own exports, including banning grain exports to ex-Soviet countries that are part of the Eurasian Economic Union and “not subject to Russia's grain export quotas.”
