Summary/Abstract: Humanitarian assistance is currently a topic frequently addressed at the European level, in the context of the conflict in Ukraine, although the European Union is the main donor at the international level. The emergence of open conflict on the European continent, considered to be the largest military deployment since the Second World War, brought on the public agenda of European countries the provision of humanitarian assistance for the population that left Ukraine on February 24, 2022, located especially at the level of European countries. The involvement of citizens in humanitarian activities represented the defining emblem of European solidarity and a unanimous orientation towards supporting the Ukrainian population was highlighted. In this context, already having the specific frameworks for the provision of humanitarian aid by governments, international institutions, and non-governmental organizations, a vibrant network of humanity has manifested itself at the level of citizens. In this context, having the integrative dimensions of humanitarian aid applied synergistically to international institutions - governments - citizens, this article highlights the principles of humanitarian aid as highlighted at the level of the main operational levels active in the field.
