We Will Not Allow Russia To Freeze Ukraine And Subjugate It — European Commission Spokesperson

Ukraine and the European Union are assessing humanitarian needs to provide assistance through the EU Civil Protection Mechanism, according to a briefing by European Commission spokesperson Paula Pinho in Brussels. The dire humanitarian situation in Ukraine is a result of Russia deliberately attacking infrastructure crucial for Ukrainian survival during winter, Pinho emphasized.

The European Commission is fully committed to supporting Ukraine in maintaining vital services such as electricity, heating, and water supply. During the phone call between European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the European Union pledged assistance. Two teams, one from the European Commission and one from Ukraine, are meeting to identify urgent needs and explore assistance possibilities under the UCPM.

Zelenskyy has indicated the EU's intention to utilize a special emergency assistance mechanism to swiftly provide funds for Ukraine's immediate needs.
