Review

This review was prepared in the context of the second phase of Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine, which began on 24 February 2022, and the resulting state of emergency. It provides an overview of the existing literature related to mental health in Ukraine, addressing both the current provision of mental health services and the impact of previous humanitarian crises on mental health developments.
