The European Union today announced a new humanitarian aid package of 140 million euros for Ukraine and an additional eight million euros worth of aid for Moldova.
The aid package was announced after the European Commissioner for Crisis Management, Hadja Lahbib, visited Ukraine to discuss humanitarian challenges as the country’s war with Russia continues.
The funding is designed to help provide food, shelter, clean water and heating to the population of Ukraine.
“Our new funding of 148 million euros in humanitarian aid is further proof that we stand with the Ukrainians in their hour of need. We will continue to do everything in our power to help those affected by this crisis, with all our partners and the Ukrainian authorities,” Lahbib said in a statement, Reuters reports.
