Ambassador Ole Egberg Mikkelsen welcomed the representatives of Dan Church Aid and Norwegian Church Aid in his residence. In his speech, he highlighted the special role that church organizations play in Ukraine in the times of war: “Dan Church Aid came to Ukraine in 2022 immediately after Russia's full-scale invasion. I wish to thank you for doing so in the darkest hour of the Russian aggression. It has been impressive to see how you have adapted your mode of operation based on many years of humanitarian work in hotspots around the world to a Ukrainian context. You support local organizations and community-led responses to humanitarian and ensures the safety of Ukrainians through demining and explosive ordnance risk education. You have two strategic goals: To save lives and to build resilient communities. This is exactly what is needed in a country that is being attacked by a ruthless aggressor”.
