To access the most up-to-date assessment, analysis and forward-leaning advice and guidance, we encourage clients to access our dedicated Ukraine Crisis microsite using their membership number.
The current situation in Ukraine remains highly fluid. For clients with operations in Ukraine, our advice is:
- Those who have the opportunity and ability to relocate from areas experiencing combat operations and can sustain themselves (access to food, water, medication and fuel, as relevant) during the journey should move as soon as possible to a south-western province (Zakarpattia, Ivano-Frankivsk, Chernivtsi, Lviv or Ternopil province, by order of preference). Movement poses significant risks due to the security environment, long journey times, weather, limited availability of support and high demand for accommodation and essential goods.
- Shelter in place if you are in immediate proximity to ongoing armed clashes, air raids or artillery shelling or at the launch of a public raid siren and prepare to move as soon as feasible.
- If unable to relocate, prepare to shelter in place for extended periods of time with limited potential for support. However, remaining in areas under siege for potentially weeks or months will pose serious risks due to the increased potential for and impact of indiscriminate military targeting, infrastructure damage, shortages of essential goods and suspension of public services.
- Abide by official directives, including those on local emergency and evacuation procedures, movement restrictions, curfews and road closures.
- Remain apprised of the latest developments via verified sources, including International SOS alerts, diplomatic missions, and local contacts. Do not act upon unverified information.
