Elena Zelenska expressed her gratitude for the assistance, emphasizing that “Luxembourg has been a reliable partner to the Ukrainian people, supporting us since the beginning of the full-scale invasion in various areas, from humanitarian and military aid to diplomatic support.”
She noted that during the meeting, they discussed new avenues for the foundation's activities, particularly psychosocial support for youth.
