The United Nations (UN) launched an emergency appeal Tuesday for $1.7 billion to provide urgent humanitarian aid for people caught up in the Russian advance inside Ukraine and refugees fleeing the fighting.

The UN estimates that 12 million people in Ukraine will need relief and protection, while it projected that more than 4 million Ukrainian refugees may need help in neighboring countries in the coming months.
