"The Council calls on the Commission and the Member States to urgently increase commitments, using available tools, in humanitarian aid and short-term tailor-made support to the most vulnerable groups in affected countries and regions, in order to, in particular, support local production and access to food, including through a humanitarian-development-peace nexus approach," the Ministers said in conclusions after the council.
The Council also encouraged member countries to "continue facilitating the swift supply of key inputs for further production to Ukraine, notably fertilizers, animal feed, seeds and fuel." (ANI/Sputnik)
