Malta gives Ukraine €1.7 million in emergency aid
Malta, since March, has provided around €1.7 million in emergency aid to Ukraine, said the Minister for Foreign Affairs Ian Borg.
While addressing an international conference on the Resilience of the Ukrainian People in Paris, the Minister said that this included bilateral assistance that primarily focused on medical equipment and medicine.
Borg once again strongly condemned Russia’s “systematic destruction” of Ukraine’s infrastructure and reiterated that such actions are a serious violation of international humanitarian law.
He added that despite its limited resources and neutrality, Malta responded actively to the threat against Ukraine and supported the work of a voluntary organization in Ukraine by financing the acquisition of generators, according to – request of the Ukrainian government.
“We will continue to support and contribute to the European effort, and we will continue to coordinate with the European Commission, the humanitarian organizations and the relevant European financial institutions to strengthen our support for Ukraine”, said Borg.
Borg also reiterated the Maltese government’s “unceasing support” for international aid efforts in Ukraine.
