On 20 February 2017 the Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management Christos Stylianides announced additional funding for people affected by the conflict in eastern Ukraine during his visit to the country. The European Commission provides humanitarian assistance to the most vulnerable communities, irrespective of which area of the conflict they live in or have fled to. Around 50% of the Commission's humanitarian assistance targets people in need in non-government controlled areas. Together with the funding provided directly by the Member States, the EU as a whole has directed over €399 million in humanitarian and recovery aid to those affected by the conflict since early 2014. |
