The European Commission will provide Ukraine additional financial assistance of EUR 1.8 billion, President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker said at a press conference in Riga on Thursday.
"Today, the Commission has decided to continue providing financial assistance to Ukraine, a country that needs solidarity from other European countries, [providing] an extra EUR 1.8 billion," he said.
"Thus, the EU is demonstrating that the European solidarity with Ukraine is not just a dead letter, but a fact that reflects the reality of every day," Juncker said.
As UNIAN reported earlier, Ukraine has in recent months received EUR 260 million in financial assistance from the European Union.
