The UN plans to provide Ukraine with over $2.6 billion in aid

Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal reported that the UN plans to raise more than $2.6 billion for providing assistance to Ukrainians in 2025. This includes the implementation of the UN Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan in Ukraine.

'This includes a plan approved by the organization. We discussed its implementation with UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Emergency Relief Coordinator Tom Fletcher, and UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi,' said the Prime Minister.

Shmyhal also added that existing and new support programs were discussed. Special attention was focused on priority projects such as providing drinking water to communities in southern Ukraine, demining, alternative sources of heat and energy, housing restoration, and construction of shelters, as well as programs for business development. The Prime Minister hopes that all these programs will be continued and that the UN will make a significant contribution to humanitarian demining in Ukraine this year by launching new programs and projects.

The head of government also noted that the partnership between Ukraine and the UN and UNHCR continues to grow.
