The European Commission announced on Tuesday its plan to allocate an additional €75 million to Ukraine, aiming to offer emergency assistance in the form of essential necessities including shelter, protection services, clean water, education, and healthcare following Russia's recent wave of attacks. Additionally, €8 million has been designated for humanitarian projects in Moldova.
"Russia's targeted attacks on Ukraine's key energy and civilian infrastructure like hospitals, schools and power grids are seriously hampering people's access to basic services ... With an estimated 14.6 million people in need of humanitarian aid in Ukraine, this new funding comes at a crucial time," the commission added.
According to the Commission, it has provided a total of €926 billion for humanitarian aid initiatives aimed at aiding individuals impacted by the conflict in Ukraine since Russia's invasion in February 2022.
