Details: As Lenarcic clarified, new funding for humanitarian aid to Ukraine will be directed to preparations for next winter.

Quote: "We are topping up EU humanitarian aid to Ukraine with a further €55 million to make sure we are ready for the additional challenges brought on by the tough and cold winter months," the European Commissioner announced.

Since the beginning of this year, the European Union has already allocated 145 million euros to Ukraine, and in total since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Russia, this amount is 685 million euros.

EU-funded humanitarian aid is delivered through UN humanitarian agencies, non-governmental organisations and the International Committee of the Red Cross.

Background: The announcement of the allocation of additional funding for humanitarian aid was made against the background of Ukraine’s joining the Civil Protection Mechanism of the European Union, where it became its 36th member.
