European Commission announced a new aid package of €200 million to support displaced people in Ukraine, in the context of the International Donor’s Conference convened jointly by Poland and Sweden.
President Ursula von der Leyen said: “Today we came together with a clear purpose: to support the brave people of Ukraine, who fight the aggressor and stand up for their freedom. We are now in the 10th week of Russia’s brutal invasion. 10 weeks during which the European Union stood firmly by Ukraine. Today, the European Union answered the call, once more, to support Ukraine. On behalf of the European Commission, I pledged 200 million euros for Ukraine. And last month, during a pledging event, raised 9.1 billion euros for Ukrainians inside and outside Ukraine. We know that more will be needed. And we will continue to stand up for Ukraine.”
Glad to announce a further €200 million in EU humanitarian aid for Ukraine at the Donors’ Conference.
With this new pledge we tell the people of Ukraine: your fight is our fight. We are with you.

The mobilization of Ukraine’s European neighbours, the solidarity of the Polish people who have welcomed several million Ukrainians since February 24, is exceptional. This is the true face of our Europe. United and united peoples.”
