Germany allocates 10 million euros for the restoration of Okhmatdyt after the russian attack.
The Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development of Germany will provide Ukraine with 10 million euros for the restoration of the Okhmatdyt Children’s Hospital, which was destroyed by a deliberate russian missile strike.
“The destruction of the children’s hospital shows how ruthlessly and inhumanely russia is waging this war of aggression… We must not and will not put up with the fact that this place for the treatment of children with cancer no longer exists in Ukraine. We have offered the Ukrainian government support in the reconstruction of the hospital so that children can quickly receive the treatment they need again,” said minister Svenja Schulze
Oleksii Makeiev, Ambassador of Ukraine to Germany, said that since February 2022, russia has completely destroyed more than 210 medical facilities in Ukraine and seriously damaged more than 1600.
He expressed gratitude for Germany’s many offers of assistance after the russian attacks.
“I thank everyone for this – it’s much more than abstract condolences. In order to deal with the consequences of russian terror, we must immediately start rebuilding. Germany has once again provided us with concrete assistance. By allocating 10 million euros, our German partners have once again demonstrated leadership,” Ukrainian diplomat stressed.
Recently, Lithuania transferred 1 million euros for the restoration of the Okhmatdyt Children’s Hospital in Kyiv.
The Deputy Head of the EU Delegation to Ukraine stated that the European Union would help with the restoration of Okhmatdyt.
Sweden is also preparing a decision to allocate an additional 5 million Swedish kronor (more than 470.000 dollars) in the form of urgent humanitarian aid for the victims of the rocket attack on the Okhmatdyt Children’s Hospital.
