United Arab Emirates sent a ship carrying 250 tons of relief aid to help those affected in Ukraine by the conflict with Russia, Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported on Tuesday. The shipment includes personal supplies, lighting equipment and blankets.
The Office of International Affairs, in co-ordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is preparing a further donation of school supplies, including computers for pupils.
The UAE has sought to deliver assistance to the country since the war with Russia began. In October 2022, the UAE pledged $100 million in humanitarian aid to Ukraine following an order from President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed.
Sheikh Mohamed said the Emirates would continue to provide humanitarian and economic assistance to mitigate the impact of the conflict with Russia. Ukrainian president expressed his gratitude to the UAE for its support during the country's crisis, highlighting Sheikh Mohamed's commitment to maintaining stability in the region.
The UAE has established an air bridge to ensure essential supplies can reach those hit hardest by the crisis. About 550 tonnes of aid – including food and medical supplies, 2,520 generators and six ambulances – have been transported on 11 aid flights to Ukraine so far. Further relief has been delivered to refugees seeking sanctuary in neighbouring Poland, Moldova and Bulgaria.
