European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen pledged on Tuesday that there would be "no let-up" in EU support for Ukraine as she addressed delegates at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
"There will be no impunity for these Russian crimes. And my friends, there will be no let up in our steadfast support to Ukraine from helping to restore power, heating and water, to preparing for the long term effort of reconstruction.
And to reaffirm that support we announced yesterday that the Commission is delivering €3 billion of financial support. This is the first tranche of our 18 billion support package for 2023, the largest ever macro financial assistance to a third country.
This is a strong message. And this will bolster Ukraine`s financial stability, help to pay wages and show the running of hospitals and housing services and schools. I just want to say, my dearest Olena, and I think I can speak on behalf of this hall and this audience here. We are in it for as long as it takes and stand by our Ukrainian friends", Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission said.
