Indeed, at this point, one million refugees per week have been fleeing Ukraine. This is unprecedented. This is more than we saw in Syria. This is definitely having an impact on European countries, as many of these people are women, mothers and children. It is important for them to have the right capacity in terms of elementary school, high school and kindergarten places, etc.
We are working with the UN agencies, like the UNHCR. My colleague, the Minister of International Development, has also been in close contact with the UNHCR. The UNHCR is in Moldova and in different countries. We've provided $200 million in terms of help.
There is something I would like to raise that is also having an impact on these neighbouring countries, because I think this was your question.
I had the chance to speak with the President of Moldova, Maia Sandu. She's a fantastic young woman who's a democratically elected head of state. She was telling me how there are really important disinformation campaigns going on in her country that seek to describe refugees as aggressive, violent and a threat to Moldovans. This is in itself a problem because the goal of these Russian disinformation campaigns is to destabilize the country, while Moldovans have seen a really important increase in refugees.
We want to work with Moldova to provide financial support, as was announced by the Prime Minister today, but we also want to make sure we counter disinformation campaigns.
