European Commission to open negotiations for Ukraine's participation in the LIFE programme

The European Commission is starting negotiations with Ukraine so that the country can join the LIFE programme.

By joining LIFE, Ukraine will be able to benefit from financing to help restore its environment after the destruction from the Russian invasion, be it pollution, destruction of ecosystems, or other long-term effects.  

The decision was conveyed by Commissioner for Environment, Oceans and Fisheries, Virginijus Sinkevičius, to his Ukrainian counterpart, Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources, Ruslan Strilets.
