The EU will provide Ukraine with emergency shelters for up to 46,000 people. In addition, according to the European Commission, an additional 150 million euros will be made available for humanitarian aid in the country attacked by Russia. For example, they can be invested in heating, food and water supplies.
“The coming winter will present major challenges for Ukraine,” said EU Commissioner Janez Lenarcic on Thursday. You have to be prepared for that.
The first shelters are sent to Rivne, Bucha and Kharkiv. They consist of temporary housing units equipped with beds, heating, showers, toilets and common areas. In addition, thousands of beds were purchased that can be used in existing emergency shelters.
Millions also for Moldova
In addition to the EUR 150 million for humanitarian aid measures in Ukraine, the EU is making a further EUR 25 million available for measures in neighboring Moldova. This raises the total amount of humanitarian aid mobilized since the start of the war to more than €500 million, the commission said.
