Polish aid

On December 11, at the Informal Meeting of Ministers for European Affairs in Lviv, Poland reinforced its support for Ukraine's EU membership by announcing its participation in the Ukraine2EU - EU Integration Support Programme. Poland has contributed €1 million to Ukraine2EU and will provide advisory support drawn from its own experience to Ukrainian public administration institutions it their efforts to conduct EU-related reforms and align legislation with the EU acquis. The contribution will also help to reinforce the Verkhovna Rada's capacities related to Ukraine's EU accession.

Poland is concerned by the IDF expanding their ground operation in the Gaza Strip, a move which has no sufficient military grounds and which causes unacceptable humanitarian consequences for the enclave's civilian population. We reiterate our call on Israel to ensure full protection of civilians and immediately increase deliveries of humanitarian aid.

Poland allocated USD 1 million to Moldova's Energy Vulnerability Reduction Fund in a show of solidarity with and direct support for Moldovan people, who are facing the consequences of an energy crisis.
