Significance On February 24, 2022, Russia began its invasion of Ukraine, triggering one of the largest mass migrations in Europe since World War II. Although the number and location of displaced individuals are available, there is limited information about their points of origin and health needs. This study estimates the burden of some of Ukraine’s most prevalent diseases—cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, HIV, and tuberculosis—among forcibly displaced Ukrainians due to the 2022 Russian invasion. Our findings indicate regions where healthcare systems may face immediate strain and suggest critical targets for humanitarian aid within Ukraine.
