The German government will allocate an additional 200 million euros to support Ukraine during the upcoming winter season.
Globalinfo.az reports that this was stated in a joint statement issued on November 13 by Germany’s Foreign Ministry and the Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.
The funds will mainly go to restoring energy and utility infrastructure, as well as to humanitarian aid for the population affected by the war. The Budget Committee of the Bundestag has also approved the allocation.
Under the financial support, measures are planned to ensure the operation of Ukraine’s electricity, heating and water supply systems and to repair damaged infrastructure. Funds will also be allocated to schools and kindergartens, agriculture and civil defence services.
The bulk of the humanitarian aid will go to residents of frontline areas, internally displaced persons and Ukrainian refugees who have taken shelter in neighbouring countries. In addition, support will be provided for preparing water, sanitation and health services in cities for winter.
