Shortly after the mobilization for addressing the COVID-19 pandemic, the Romanian civil society showed surprising mobilization in the context of the Ukraine-related humanitarian crisis. Russia’s war against Ukraine generated a powerful empathy towards those affected by the war. 

This study offers an analysis of the empathy wave manifested by the Romanian civil society to support migrants from Ukraine. The data for the study was collected by the Association for Community Relations. The analysis was developed by Stefan Cibian and Levente Fejes.
