European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that the European Union would allocate €200 million to Ukraine to support internally displaced people.

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister of Sweden on the eve announced $23 million in support from organizations providing humanitarian assistance to Ukrainians.

Recall that the Donors’ Conference was initiated by Sweden and Poland, which called for discussing how to support the sustainability of Ukrainian society and meet its needs in the long term, including funding for the reconstruction of the country, which Ukrainians still have to do.
