European Commissioner urges Ukraine's parliament to simplify humanitarian aid delivery
Ukraine needs to take legislative decisions aimed at simplifying the delivery of humanitarian aid and resolving problems faced by internally displaced persons, European Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management Christos Stylianides has said.
According to the press service of the Verkhovna Rada, the official expressed the opinion at a meeting with Verkhovna Rada Chairman Volodymyr Groysman on March 18.
Stylianides reported that he has recently visited the demarcation line eastern Ukraine. He said the humanitarian situation in the region remains worrisome. "It is necessary to focus on the long-term needs of people and provide people with an economic outlook," he said.
Groysman, in turn, agreed to the feasibility of establishing a framework legislation, which would allow the systematic solution of these issues, noting that the parliament has adopted several necessary bills on facilitating humanitarian aid delivery procedures.
The commissioner thanked the parliament for efforts made in this regard.
