Merkel announced EUR 85 million vocational training so young Ukrainians have the skills needed in the modern workplace. In addition, she promised EUR 2 million to create ‘a center of excellence.’ She said: “It is very important that scientists have a chance to stay in Ukraine and not go abroad.” Merkel said that since 2014, Germany has allocated Ukraine EUR 490 million, largely to help the east — supporting internally displaced persons, demining and developing social infrastructure.
