Serbia provides EUR 60 mln in non-military aid to Ukraine during full-scale war - ambassador
Serbia provides Ukraine with humanitarian, financial, and material assistance during the full-scale war, Ambassador of Ukraine to Serbia Oleksandr Lytvynenko said in an exclusive interview with Interfax-Ukraine.
"Over 4 years, they have provided up to EUR 60 million in non-military aid in the energy sector and in the field of emergency situations. Recently, EUR 2 million was allocated for energy and up to EUR 700,000 for medicine. For such a small country with 6.5 million people, this is serious money. And we are sincerely grateful to them for this," Lytvynenko said.
He emphasized that Serbia "is quite active in helping Ukraine compared to other Balkan countries, of course, if Romania is not taken into account."
As reported, last year Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic stated at the 4th Ukraine-South-East Europe Summit in Odesa that Ukraine can always count on Serbia’s humanitarian aid, political support, and support for the country’s territorial integrity.
