UA reports this with reference to the British Embassy to Ukraine.
The British Minister for European Neighborhood and the Americas Wendy Morton has announced the creation of a new “Partnership for Strong Ukraine” Foundation.
The United Kingdom, Canada, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States “will help mitigate Russia’s destabilizing influence in southern and eastern regions of Ukraine”.
The fund will be working till December 2021 and aims to raise up to £35 million from donors.
“Funding will go to initiatives to strengthen the capacity of conflict-affected regions, such as providing technical advice to the authorities or providing grant investments that create economic opportunities and improve access to public services for residents of southern and eastern Ukraine. This should improve the quality of public services, increase household incomes and strengthen ties between communities divided by the conflict” – the minister’s statement says.
To remind, earlier Wendy Morton declared that the United Kingdom will never recognize occupation of the Crimea.
