JAKARTA - The suffering of the Ukrainian people whose country was attacked by Russia has brought sympathy from the world's citizens. Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Swedish Prime Minister, Magdalena Andersson, host the International Donors Conference for Ukraine in Warsaw on Thursday, May 5.

This activity was initiated by the Prime Minister of Poland, Mateusz Morawiecki, and the Prime Minister of Sweden, Magdalena Andersson. They work closely with the President of the Council of Europe, Charles Michel and the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.

The aim of the initiative is to raise humanitarian aid for Ukraine, the Polish Embassy in Jakarta said Thursday, May 5.

The meeting was held and attended by Heads of State and Government, with the participation of a number of representatives of global business groups and financial institutions.

The conference initiated a number of fundraising activities for Ukraine in the next few months, according to a statement from the Polish Embassy.

The conference aims to raise funds for the growing humanitarian aid needs in Ukraine.

Poland and Sweden hope that other partner countries will jointly respond to the increasingly dire humanitarian situation in Ukraine. At this time, real solidarity is needed to support the Ukrainian people.

According to the United Nations, the 13 million people residing in Ukraine are in need of vital humanitarian assistance; including tents; food and drug supply.

Therefore, essential mobilization efforts from the international community are needed for Ukraine, which currently only covers approximately 15 percent of the total needed needs.
