According to a statement from the Polish Embassy in Manila, the conference aims to raise funds for Ukraine’s growing humanitarian needs. Poland and Sweden, it said, want to encourage their partners to jointly respond to the difficult humanitarian situation in the besieged country.
As a result of Russian aggression, there are civilian casualties, organized forced deportations, and the financial situation of millions of Ukrainian citizens is constantly deteriorating. The statement declared that “real solidarity is needed to effectively support Ukrainian society.”
The United Nations recently announced that 13 million people living in Ukrainian territory are in need of vital humanitarian aid, including shelter, food and medical supplies. For the crisis-stricken nation, it is essential to mobilize immediate international aid, which currently covers less than 15 percent of that which is needed.
