Ursula Von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, officially announced today that the next tranche of economic support for Ukraine is going to reach the accounts of the state affected so much by the war, and we are talking about the amount of 1 billion euros which is donated by European union.
The European Commission is preparing an aid worth 8 billion euros for Ukraine, and this would only be the first tranche that is delivered, so the extension of the aid is to be voted on because as much support as possible is needed in this period when Russia does not contain with the attacks.
Ursula Von der Leyen has been one of the main supporters of Ukraine in recent months, using her power, or influence, to obtain significant aid for the country as the months have passed and the Russians have continued to mercilessly attack not only military targets , but also civil objectives.
The EU's next tranche of financial support for Ukraine is on its way.
This €1 billion will strengthen the State in a crucial phase.
With today's green light by the Council, the money should reach Ukraine still this month.
We stand with Ukraine – now and in the long-run. https://t.co/MU3SEFASZS
