Supporting Ukraine and persons fleeing the war will continue being a priority for Germany's Government, ambassador Peer Gebauer declared for AGERPRES on Wednesday, during a visit he paid to southeastern border crossing point in Isaccea, alongside the French ambassador in Romania, Laurence Auer.
Peer Gebauer reminded that in the last years Germany has offered aid for Ukraine with a total value of almost 300 million Euro and mentioned that this support increased in the last period.
"For Germany, supporting Ukraine was always on the top of the agenda. In the last years, Germany was one of the main countries that supplied humanitarian aid for Ukraine and after this terrible Russian aggression began, Germany has also increased its efforts. We are talking now about a support worth almost 300 million Euro supplied through non-government organizations," the German ambassador specified.
The diplomat added that support for Ukraine was also in the form of experts in management crisis and highlighted the importance of the European effort in the current context, Agerpres.ro informs.
"There are many areas where we are active, and the French ambassador has already mentioned some of them. It is basically a European effort here and it is very important to work together, hand in hand. I believe that it is crucial to face these challenges," Peer Gebauer highlighted.
During the visit carried out at the border crossing point in the city of Isaccea, the German diplomat was impressed by the way in which the authorities and civil society are cooperating in order to support the Ukrainian refugees.
