Cooper and Dotsenko discuss humanitarian needs of Ukrainians during war
British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper and Director General of the Ukrainian Red Cross Society (URCS) Maksym Dotsenko discussed the needs of the population during a full-scale war.
“During the meeting, they discussed the humanitarian situation in Ukraine, the most urgent needs of affected people, and the operational challenges the organisation continues to face amid the full-scale war,” URCS said on Facebook Wednesday.
Particular attention was given to the response to attacks on energy infrastructure, including the work of the Ukrainian Red Cross emergency response teams, which support first responders at the scene of emergencies.
The Foreign Secretary expressed her support for Ukraine and thanked the volunteers and staff of the Ukrainian Red Cross for their dedication and for providing life-saving assistance to people during the most difficult times.
The meeting took place at the Ukrainian Red Cross heat point in Kyiv.
“We are grateful to the United Kingdom, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), and the British Red Cross for their solidarity and continued support for Ukraine. This partnership enables us to further strengthen our operational capacity, respond quickly to the needs of affected people, and remain alongside those who need it most,” URCS noted.
