The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees says that he’s worried that the war in Ukraine has been forgotten as the country prepares to mark two years since Russia’s full-scale invasion
The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees said Wednesday that he’s worried that the war in Ukraine has been forgotten as the country prepares to mark two years since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion.
UNHCR chief Filippo Grandi also told The Associated Press in an interview that it was important to remind the international community that Ukrainians were living through a brutal war despite other global crises taking the spotlight.
Speaking at the end of a weeklong visit to Ukraine, Grandi said that the invasion, which was launched by Moscow on Feb. 24, 2022, continues to bring devastation to civilians with houses destroyed, health centers hit and many facilities not functioning.
“I think the big difference from last year to this year is that this year, this is not news anymore in the world," Grandi said. “There is somehow a trend towards getting used to Ukrainian suffering.”
This is the best summary I could come up with:

The U.N. refugee chief said that he was concerned that discussion over the issue of humanitarian aid to Ukraine had now become held up by political wrangling.
In Washington, senators are trying for a bipartisan deal that would include nearly $61 billion in aid for Ukraine and make changes to U.S. border policy.
“I very much hope that those discussions can be unblocked and be concluded positively in both places — in the EU and in the United States," Grandi said.

And how does he feel about the conflict in
TigraySudan? Y’know the one nobody talks about ever.He would like for them to get help too.
Took 30 seconds to find out he visited in person just last year. Whatabout fail.
On Sudan
He’s talking about it; it’s kinda his job to.
And is he worried people are forgetting about it? Because that was my point, I’m sure he’s made a statement about every bloody fucking conflict so I didn’t think I’d need to clarify such an obvious thing.
I mean didn’t they get enough billions of our tax dollars already
No. They have saved us money on having to dispose of old munitions. They haven’t gotten a penny. The money is going to the MIC to pay for the inevitable resupply of new ammo
The money is going to American wages.
The billions were gonna go to the MIC anyways at least now there was a better reason than “defense”.
They should be getting every cent being supplied to Israel.
