Ukraine can be a humanitarian superpower after the war - UN Under-Secretary-General
The experience and potential of non-governmental organizations built up as a result of Russian aggression will make Ukraine a leading exporter of humanitarian aid.
This was stated by Tom Fletcher, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, CE Report quotes Ukrinform.
Commenting on the Grain from Ukraine initiative to supply grain to third countries, he noted that although Ukraine has been a recipient of support, it is also a big donor.
“We will see Ukraine playing even more of a role as not just an importer of humanitarian support but as an exporter. The local NGOs have built up such expertise and capacity through this crisis that they will be on the humanitarian front lines globally in the future. I think Ukraine will be a humanitarian superpower,” said Fletcher.
