**Interview with Dr.‍ Elena Morozova,⁤ Human Rights Expert**

**Interviewer**:⁤ Thank ​you for joining us today, Dr. Morozova. As ⁤we mark almost two years since the start of the Russian invasion of​ Ukraine, the humanitarian​ crisis continues to ⁢deepen. With over 10,300 reported deaths and millions displaced, ‌how do you assess the international response to the situation?

**Dr. Morozova**: Thank you for having me. The numbers are⁤ indeed staggering, and it’s a dire⁢ reflection of the ongoing conflict. The international community has provided support, yet many argue that it hasn’t been ‌sufficient ⁣to address the scale of suffering‌ faced ‍by civilians. There are still discussions about the⁢ need for ​stronger sanctions on Russia and a more coordinated humanitarian‍ response.

**Interviewer**: One of the gravest ‌issues highlighted is the⁢ targeting of civilians, including attacks on educational ⁣and health centers. What can be done ​to protect these essential services?

**Dr. Morozova**: Humanitarian ⁤corridors and international oversight‌ are crucial. More robust‍ measures need to be taken to compel warring parties to respect⁣ international humanitarian law. The ongoing displacement of over 6 million people underscores‍ the need⁢ for urgent and⁤ sustained action from global leaders.

**Interviewer**: The media coverage has been limited, with journalists risking⁣ their⁤ lives to report​ the truth. How crucial is the role of the‍ press during conflicts like‍ this?

**Dr. ⁢Morozova**: The media plays a vital role⁣ in ⁤shining a ​light on the crisis and holding accountable ‍those responsible for human rights violations. The loss of journalists is heartbreaking and illustrates the dangers ​they face. We must advocate for their safety and ensure their voices ⁢can ‍reach a⁢ global⁢ audience.

**Interviewer**: Poland has⁣ taken in many refugees, but Germany leads with the largest ​number. How do‍ you see the refugee situation ​evolving, and ‍what challenges lie ⁤ahead?

**Dr. Morozova**: As winter approaches, the challenges for refugees⁤ intensify—access to shelter,⁣ healthcare, and education​ must⁢ be prioritized. Host nations should collaborate to provide effective integration policies, but we must ‌also advocate for ⁢safe conditions for those who are still in Ukraine.

**Interviewer**: Given the ongoing violence and⁢ the ⁢average of ⁢over⁣ 100‌ civilian deaths a⁣ day, what⁢ do you ⁢believe should be the next steps for both the international community and Ukrainians facing this crisis?

**Dr. Morozova**: The immediate focus must be ⁤on ⁣humanitarian assistance and⁢ diplomatic efforts⁣ to ​establish ⁤a ceasefire. However,⁣ there’s also a crucial need for a long-term strategy to rebuild Ukraine‌ and ensure that the voices of survivors are included in⁢ post-conflict ​dialogues.

**Interviewer**: Thank⁢ you, Dr. Morozova, for your insights. It ‍raises​ a pressing question for our readers: What measures do​ you think are most urgent that the international community should take to address the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine?
