“For more than 100 days, we have seen unnecessary suffering and countless violations of international humanitarian law. In times of crisis, we must help the most affected groups of the population. We have responded quickly by significantly expanding our presence in Ukraine. Through this funding, our humanitarian partners provide food, water, medical assistance, protection and financial support. We are also working closely with the Ukrainian authorities to ensure that assistance provided by EU member states meets ever-changing needs.”
It is noted that Lenarčič is visiting Ukraine due to the sharp increase in humanitarian needs. The purpose of his visit is to meet with humanitarian organizations and Ukrainian officials to help coordinate the EU’s response to these needs on the ground.
The European Commission also signed a contribution agreement with a value of seven million euros with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies to provide mental health and psycho-social support to people fleeing Ukraine.
