The worldwide conference "Standing with the Ukrainian People" held in Paris on Tuesday helped raise $1 billion for Ukraine.

France will help non-governmental groups in the field work faster, according to Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna of France. It will also give support to keep power plants running in the south of Ukraine.

Colonna and Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal spoke at a press conference to announce a new coordination structure that will keep €2 million available for emergencies. According to her, many nations, groups, and allies of Ukraine from outside of Europe will join the mechanism.
