United to win: Germany pledges €60 mln in humanitarian aid to Ukraine

The German Minister of Foreign Affairs, Annalena Baerbock, announced the transfer of 60 million euros in humanitarian aid to Ukraine.

The European Commission broadcast reports this.

"We once again became convinced that Russian terror is aimed specifically at people, specifically at ordinary life in Ukraine, by attacking shopping centers, hardware stores, exclusively with the aim of killing people and spreading fear and terror," she said.

Baerbock noted that full support is even more important for Ukraine now.

"We want peace, and to ensure peace, we need to support Ukraine in all its aspects. Firstly, [to ensure – ed.] that Ukraine can protect itself, protect its people, protect life. Secondly, strengthening the economy with the upcoming recovery conference. And, on – third, further humanitarian aid in the amount of 60 million euros, especially for the east of Ukraine," the minister said.

She added that Germany and international organizations will provide even more humanitarian aid to east of Ukraine.
