The humanitarian centre that is operational in Romania supporting Ukraine will play a very important role, as a medium-term approach, the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said on Thursday.
Romania provides humanitarian aid to Ukraine through this humanitarian centre. It is important for us to be able to gather all the resources here, as close to Ukraine as possible. These resources come from all member states and will be channeled from the hub as fast as possible, to the regions in need in Ukraine, said Ursula von der Leyen at the Cotroceni Palace, where she was welcomed by President Klaus Iohannis.
She added that this centre will play a very important role, noting that when it comes to crises such as the one in Ukraine, very strict coordination is needed, Agerpres.ro informs.
With the support of the United Nations, the United States and other entities, such as non-governmental organizations, this humanitarian centre will play a very important role. When it comes to crises like this one, very strict coordination is needed. It is a medium-term approach and, with all our experience in crisis management, we enjoy all of Romania's support, flexibility and pragmatism. You have been prepared to start this work immediately and I am glad that it has progressed so well, said the President of the European Commission.
