Austria to Provide Ukraine With Additional €2 Million in Humanitarian Aid
Austria has decided to provide Ukraine with additional funds as part of its humanitarian support.
The Gaze writes about it, referring to a post by the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry on social media.
In particular, Austrian Foreign Minister Beate Meinl-Reisinger announced on Wednesday during a visit to Odesa that Austria had decided to provide an additional €2 million in humanitarian aid to Ukraine and that the country would join the civil protection shelter coalition.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha expressed his gratitude to Meinl-Reisinger for these decisions.
The head of the Ukrainian diplomatic service also thanked Austria, the governments of the Austrian federal states and charitable foundations for organising rehabilitation holidays for around 1,480 Ukrainian children between 2022 and 2024.
‘Austria plans to accept another 550 Ukrainian children this year. This is also a form of life support. There are no strangers' children. Ukrainian children are the future of Europe,’ the minister emphasised.
The ministers also paid special attention to the further involvement of the Austrian School of Architecture in Odessa in the context of the reconstruction of the Ukrainian port city.
In June, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy paid a visit to Austria, his first since the start of the full-scale war.
