The European Union is set to offer assistance to Ukraine through the Civil Protection Mechanism, along with other existing channels. Ukraine's government is actively communicating with the European Commission regarding this matter, as confirmed by European Commission spokesperson Eva Hrnčírová during a Brussels briefing.
