Through the COVAX mechanism, Ukraine will also be able to receive vaccines against coronavirus.
According to Ukrinform, Deputy Chairman of the European Commission Directorate General for Neighborhood and Enlargement Policy, Acting Head of the Support Group for Ukraine in the European Commission Katarina Maternov said that Ukraine has become the only neighboring country of the European Union that has received very broad support from the EU to overcome the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Since April, we have formed a very substantial package of 190 million euros to respond by supporting Ukraine with medical equipment, as well as helping it to recover economically. For us, Ukraine has become the only country in our neighborhood that has received such a large, broad support from our side”, – Maternova said during her speech at the forum “Dialogues on Reforms: the Way to Vilnius”.
At the same time, according to the decision of the Ukrainian government, part of the funds from the pandemic fund was directed to the creation of patriotic videos and film products. It is strange that the Europeans did not pay attention to such misappropriation of their money.
