This is fundamental to accelerating progress in achieving SDG 6 if we really aim to leave no one behind.

In the early hours of 24 February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine, advancing from Ukraine’s eastern border towards cities across the country, including the capital Kyiv.
