Loading...
Summary
Speakers at a public session outlined an appeal for $2,600,000,000 to support up to 6,000,000 people affected by the war in Ukraine, highlighting needs among those remaining near front lines, older people and people with disabilities and stressing the objective of enabling return to Ukraine.
Speaker 2, Speaker, said the world is being asked to fund a $2.6 billion campaign to meet urgent humanitarian needs stemming from the war in Ukraine and to reach up to 6 million people.
"Our ask of the world is for $2,600,000,000 to fund this campaign and to help us to reach 6,000,000 people," Speaker 2 said.
Speaker 1, Speaker, summarized the stated objective of the effort: not to leave affected people as refugees permanently but to "create the conditions for these people to return to Ukraine," noting that this is what "the majority of the refugees want." Speaker 3, Speaker, added that the appeal specifically targets people who have chosen to stay near the front line and "in particular, people with disabilities and older people who find it difficult to move."
Speakers described the need for sustained international engagement. "The Ukrainian people have shown incredible courage over these years and we have to respond by showing a real genuine sustained international engagement," Speaker 2 said. "And when I say sustained, I mean that we will be here with the Ukrainian people for as long as it takes to meet these needs and to support them in this moment."
