Since last March, Malta has provided over €1.7 million in emergency assistance to Ukraine, amid the ongoing war in the country.
In an international conference addressing the Ukrainian people’s resilience in Paris, Minister for Foreign Affairs, EU Affairs & Trade Ian Borg stated that Malta will continue providing help to Ukraine.
“In light of the limited resources our country has, as well as the neutrality which is an integral part of our country’s constitution, Malta actively answered to this threat, particularly with regards to medical equipment and medicine”, Borg stated.
Borg went on to condemn the Russian Federation’s systemic destruction of Ukrainian infrastructure, stating that such actions are in serious breach of international humanitarian laws.
During the conference, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked the European Union for its $19 billion financial aid package. “Every day we gain new strength for Ukraine to get through this winter, and I thank everyone who works for this and who helps our country, ” he stated.
