Zelenskyy and UN Refugee Commissioner Grandi discuss additional support for Ukraine’s recovery
On July 16, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to the official website of the President.
The Head of State thanked the High Commissioner for his support of Ukraine.
"We appreciate today's announcement of a new UNHCR assistance package in the amount of one hundred million US dollars to prepare Ukraine for the winter. In the context of constant shelling of energy facilities, this is a very important assistance," Zelenskyy said.
The President also said that our country needs additional support to rebuild destroyed housing and arrange shelters in schools and hospitals so that Ukrainians can return home.
Filippo Grandi reminded that this is his fifth visit to Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion.
He added that during such visits he aims to show donors what is really happening in Ukraine so that they continue to allocate funds to help Ukrainians. He said that he had already visited some of the areas in Kyiv that were bombed last week and the Okhmatdyt children's hospital.
In addition, the interlocutors noted the launch of a new information portal "Ukraine is home" that, with the support of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, will provide the necessary information to Ukrainians planning to return home.
