KYIV, July 13 – The main result of the conference on Ukraine recovery in Lugano, Switzerland, was to bring together the countries and institutions that will help Ukraine, EU Ambassador to Ukraine Matti Maasikas has said.

"I think the main result of the Lugano conference was to bring together these countries and institutions including international financial institutions that will help Ukraine. It was a show of solidarity. Money transfers are nice and pledges and statements by individual politicians, leaders who come here and those who President [of Ukraine Volodymyr] Zelensky addresses via video links – it is of course all nice, fine and necessary but it's also very good to get together in one room (thank God we can do it again after Covid) and feel this solidarity. This I think was the main achievement," he said in an exclusive interview with the Interfax-Ukraine.
