Clinton Global Initiative launching network to provide humanitarian aid to Ukrainians
The Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) is set to launch a network to provide humanitarian aid to Ukrainians, one day after beginning its annual conference in New York on Monday.
CGI Ukraine Action Network will be officially announced Tuesday, The Associated Press reported. The network is a product of a collaboration between former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Ukrainian first lady Olena Zelenska.
The AP reported that several financial pledges are also set to be announced in conjunction with Tuesday’s initiative launch.
CGI is convening its annual conference in New York on Monday and Tuesday and will bring together leaders from countries throughout the world to support his year’s theme of “keep going.”
Pope Francis will discuss climate change with former President Clinton to open the conference Monday.
Other U.S. public officials set to appear include Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D). U.S. media figures taking part include Dana Perino, a Fox News Channel anchor, and Jen Psaki, who hosts a show on MSNBC.
