On 24 February 2022, the Russian Federation invaded Ukraine triggering the biggest humanitarian crisis in Europe after World War II due to the large number of people fleeing the war. The European Union, its member states and other European countries provided support to the people displaced from Ukraine. The United Nations also committed support and assistance to the refugee families. In Romania, supporting the refugees and constantly assessing their needs is part of the ongoing UNICEF response to the crisis. The current research was carried out in June 2023, one year and a half after the beginning of the conflict, to assess the perceptions of the Romanian population in the host communities on the people displaced from Ukraine and of the Ukrainian refugees on their own needs in order to participate more in the life of their new communities.
