The United Nations will reduce the support of displaced persons from Ukraine.
The UN refugee agency will be forced to reduce the support of Ukrainian displaced persons from the termination of assistance in the United States and a general reduction in donors support. This was declared by the representative of UNCC in Ukraine Carolina Lindholm Billing, reports Reuters.
Some of the programs that we had previously implemented with generous support for US financing were suspended, ”she said.
The programs that will be suspended include psychosocial support, a “extensive scale”, as well as materials for the repair of emergency housing and financial assistance.
It is indicated that US assistance in 2024 amounted to 40% of the UN Agency for Refugees for Financing. And his termination also influenced the fact that other Western donors also “retreated because they are priority for defense costs”.
The UN urged countries to allocate 3.32 billion dollars. In support of 8.2 million people in Ukraine, but this amount was funded only by 25%.
We recall that the other day it became known that Estonia will stop paying for compensation for housing and transfer services for Ukrainian refugees in Tallinn. This program provides single -shift compensation for renting housing costs so that refugees can find a place of residence in Estonia.
