    (BRUSSELS) – The European Commission announced Tuesday an initial EUR 83 million in humanitarian aid to support the people affected by Russia’s war against Ukraine for 2024.

    Of the funding, €75 million is allocated for humanitarian projects in Ukraine to provide emergency aid including access to basic needs such as shelter, protection services, clean water, education and healthcare. The Commission said today that the EU’s humanitarian strategy in Ukraine is very much focused on protecting people affected by the war, especially those living close to the frontline areas.

    €8 million is allocated for humanitarian projects in Moldova providing targeted assistance to the most vulnerable, including humanitarian cash assistance for basic needs, protection, and health. Including the new funding announced today, the EU is allocating in total €926 million for humanitarian aid programmes to help civilians affected by the war in Ukraine since Russia’s invasion in February 2022. Of this funding, €860 million has been allocated for humanitarian programmes within Ukraine and €66 million to support refugees who have fled to neighbouring Moldova.

    EU humanitarian aid, present in Ukraine since 2014, is running operations all across the country, with a focus on hard-to-reach areas close to the frontline in the eastern and southern regions.

    Commissioner Janez Lenarcic said the EU’s commitment to the Ukrainian people was as strong as ever: “In the past two years, Russia has been waging an unjust and unjustifiable war against Ukraine and its people. While I commend the resilience and iron will of the Ukrainian people, it is evident that the war has left almost 40% of Ukrainians dependent on humanitarian aid. To assist the most vulnerable people affected by this war also in 2024, the EU will provide an initial €75 million in humanitarian aid to Ukraine and €8 million to Moldova.”
