In response to a request from Ukraine via the EU Civil Protection Mechanism, Slovakia has offered protective facemasks, disinfectants, blankets, among other items to help the country tackle the coronavirus pandemic, according to a report on the website of the European Commission.

“The coronavirus pandemic must be tackled on all fronts, all over the world. I am grateful to Slovakia for helping our neighbours in Ukraine. Only together we can overcome this virus. The EU stands ready to channel further offers of assistance,” said Janez Lenarčič, Commissioner for Crisis Management.

The EU will coordinate and co-finance the delivery of this assistance to Ukraine.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, the EU Civil Protection Mechanism has already coordinated the delivery of assistance to 13 countries.

As of May 18, 2020, Ukraine had 18,616 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases.
