Many international organisations are turning their focus and support towards the exodus of refugees who are fleeing and primarily going to neighbouring Poland, Moldova and other European states such as the Netherlands.
In a statement issued by the Dutch royal household last month, Maxima and her husband King Willem-Alexander said: ‘Our hearts go out to the people of Ukraine and everyone affected by the violence.
‘Our thoughts are very much with the people there and with the Ukrainian community in the Netherlands, who will be anxious about the situation of their families and friends.’
Maxima has been showing her support for the cause, visiting a humanitarian service point for Ukrainian refugees on Wednesday.
Donning the colours of the Ukrainian flag, the Dutch royal was shown around the refugee centre by members of staff, and met with families who have fled Ukraine.
