Европейская Комиссия выделит €24 млн. гуманитарной помощи населению на востоке Украины

Как сообщает веб-сайт Европейской службы внешних связей, 28 февраля Европейская Комиссия объявила о своем намерении выделить 24 миллиона евро для оказания гуманитарной помощи пострадавшему от конфликта населению на востоке Украины.

Новое финансирование ЕС поможет удовлетворить базовые потребности наиболее уязвимых групп населения на линии соприкосновения противодействующих сторон, в том числе в районах, не контролируемых правительством. Оно окажет помощь тем, кто сбежал из зон конфликта в соседние страны, говорится в сообщении на веб-сайте.

По этому случаю Комиссар ЕС по гуманитарной помощи и урегулированию кризисных ситуаций Христос Стилианидис заявил: «Четырехлетний конфликт лег колоссальным бременем на мирное население восточной Украины. Мы не можем оставить без внимания гуманитарный кризис на пороге Европейского Союза. Приоритет ЕС - оказывать поддержку тем, кто в ней нуждается, где бы они ни находились. Наша новая программа помощи окажет содействие в жизненно важных сферах - предоставлении продуктов питания, здравоохранения и образования для детей».

ЕС и его государства-члены являются крупнейшим донором гуманитарной помощи, скорейшего восстановления и помощи в области развития для Украины. Согласно сделанному сегодня заявлению, ЕС уже предоставил 677 миллионов евро с начала конфликта в 2014 году.

EU leaders call on Trump to include Ukraine in summit with Putin

European Union leaders have appealed to U.S. President Donald Trump to defend their security interests at a summit with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Friday 15 August over the war in Ukraine. EU leaders are doing their best to exert some influence over the summit that they have been sidelined from. It remains unclear whether even Ukraine will take part but EU leaders underlined that “the path to peace in Ukraine cannot be decided without Ukraine.” According to AP, Trump has said that he wants to see whether Putin is serious about ending the war now in its fourth year. In a statement on Tuesday 12 August, EU leaders said that they “welcome the efforts of President Trump towards ending Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.” The European Union will make a fresh attempt to rally Trump to Ukraine’s cause on Wednesday at virtual meetings convened by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Trump did not confirm whether he would take part, but he stated: “I’m going to get everybody’s ideas” before meeting with Putin.
