CMR Webinar Cities 12.01.24 

This event is part of our CMR Migration & cities webinar series. It has been almost two years since the full-scale Russian attack on Ukraine on February 24th, 2022, that triggered the largest forced migration in post-World War-2 Europe. While much public attention has been paid to the multilevel responses across the European Union to the forced migration from Ukraine, not much is known about how Ukrainian cities responded to the arrival of internally displaced people. This webinar aims to give a voice to the local experts from Ukraine and learn about the challenges and responses across Ukrainian cities to the arrival of displaced persons. We also discuss future long-term solutions to urban internal displacements.
