The United Nations is seeking to raise $4.2 billion in 2024 for Ukraine’s conflict-torn communities and refugees.
The Ministry of Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine said this in a statement.
According to the statement, the UN plans to attract $3.1 billion from donors to provide humanitarian aid to 8.5 million people in Ukraine.
The world body also targets to raise $1.1 billion to support about 2.3 million Ukrainian refugees, who were forced to flee the country due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the statement added.
Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister, Iryna Vereshchuk, said Kiev pinned high hopes on the UN humanitarian plan to assist Ukrainians affected by the conflict.
