President von der LeyenThe European Union's commitment to Ukraine remains steadfastSPONSORED CONTENTSince Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February, the EU has been united in its condemnation of Russia for grossly violating international law, undermining European and global security and stability and causing unnecessary loss of life and human suffering. The EU has already provided significant humanitarian relief during the Ukraine crisis, with over half a billion Euro already committed as humanitarian aid. On Saturday 9 April, President von der Leyen convened the Stand Up For Ukraine pledging event in Warsaw. The goal of the event was to mobilise governments, institutions, artists, companies and individuals to raise funds and support for Ukrainians. "With no end to the conflict in sight, it is essential to provide additional resources to cover the needs of internally displaced people within Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees," said President von der Leyen.
