The Government of the Republic of Slovenia on Tuesday in an online meeting decided to allocate EUR 5 million to Ukraine for humanitarian purposes and the country's reconstruction.

As stated on the government website, the funds will be directed, in particular, to alleviate urgent humanitarian needs in the healthcare sector in Ukraine, including the purchase of medicines and medical equipment, and the implementation of the World Food Programme's Grain from Ukraine initiative.
