Switzerland has resolved to continue its humanitarian aid to Ukraine amid a global decline in donor support, according to a statement from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation. Serge Umov, head of the humanitarian aid department in Ukraine for the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, highlighted the country’s commitment to providing assistance to Ukraine despite the economic challenges facing many donor nations around the world.
The statement comes at a time when international efforts to support Ukraine have been affected by economic downturns and shifting priorities among donor countries. Umov noted that Switzerland’s continued support reflects its dedication to the humanitarian response efforts in Ukraine, ensuring that aid reaches those in need even as global aid resources become more strained.
Switzerland’s decision to maintain its aid level underscores the country’s role as a reliable partner in the global humanitarian response to the conflict in Ukraine. The agency emphasized that its efforts are part of a broader international effort to provide assistance to Ukraine, with Switzerland contributing its share despite the economic challenges faced by many donor nations.
