EU Delivered 90,000 Tons Of Aid To Ukraine Since Beginning Of Full-Scale War

Since the start of the Russian invasion, Ukraine has received around 90,000 tons of in-kind aid, such as equipment and medicine, through the EU's Civil Protection Mechanism. This is reported by the DW portal.

"This is certainly the most complex, largest and longest operation within the framework of the EU Civil Protection Mechanism in the entire history of its existence," said European Commissioner for Crisis Management Janez Lenarcic.

According to him, the aid was provided with food products, medicines, vehicles, generators, transformers and equipment for repairing power grids and other critical infrastructure facilities.

"We even delivered such things as sunflower seeds and equipment for the protection of cultural monuments," Lenarcic said.

In addition, more than two thousand patients and wounded from Ukraine were treated in more than 20 EU countries, added the European Commissioner.
