Finland to boost humanitarian aid to Ukraine and send 52 additional generators
Finland is increasing its humanitarian aid to Ukraine to €22 million and delivering 52 additional generators in February.
Finland has announced a significant boost in its humanitarian aid to Ukraine, with plans to allocate €22 million and send an additional 52 generators. This announcement came from Olena Kondratiuk, the Deputy Head of the Verkhovna Rada, following her meeting with Finland's Prime Minister Petteri Orpo. The humanitarian assistance is expected to play a crucial role in supporting Ukraine amid ongoing challenges due to the conflict.
Kondratiuk highlighted Finland's commitment to aiding Ukraine, particularly emphasizing its expertise in civilian protection. The Finnish government is not only sending generators to help with energy needs but is also contributing €13.2 million to the construction of civilian shelters. These shelters are part of a larger plan that aims to establish a total of 10,000 shelters in Ukraine, reflecting a robust commitment to enhancing safety and support for civilians.
This increased humanitarian support comes at a critical time for Ukraine, as efforts are being made to ensure the well-being of its citizens during challenging circumstances. The collaboration between Finland and Ukraine in civilian protection reflects a broader international commitment to provide support and assistance during times of crisis, with hopes of encouraging other nations to participate in similar humanitarian efforts.
