Georgian PM leaves for Poland to attend high-level conference for Ukraine

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili has left for Poland along with the country’s Foreign Minister Ilia Darchiashvili to attend a high-level conference in Warsaw tomorrow to attract funds for war-torn Ukraine. 

 

Co-hosted by Mateusz Morawiecki, Prime Minister of Poland and Magdalena Andersson, Prime Minister of Sweden, in partnership with Charles Michel, President of the European Council, and Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, the conference will serve to mobilize substantial pledges to support the UN humanitarian response in Ukraine and to discuss further steps towards supporting Ukraine’s efforts to handle the economic challenges created by the war, the Polish government said. 

 

This conference will take place in the context of the humanitarian disaster caused by the Russian military invasion of Ukraine which began on February 24. 

 

The UN estimates that more than 12 million people are in need of urgent humanitarian aid, including food, medical supplies and shelter.
