GENEVA (Reuters) - The U.N. refugee agency (UNHCR) said on Tuesday it was vital for the United States to maintain its funding of humanitarian agencies to ease the refugee crisis caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine two years ago.
UNHCR requires $993 million to fund its response to the crisis caused by the invasion, which marks its second anniversary on Saturday.
