The UAE president Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has ordered additional humanitarian relief aid worth US$100 million to Ukrainian civilians affected by the Ukraine crisis.
Minister of State for International Cooperation Reem bint Ebrahim Al Hashimy said that the additional aid stems from the belief of Sheikh Mohamed in the importance of solidarity in times of war and conflict, and the UAE’s continued efforts to mitigate the humanitarian impact of the Ukraine crisis.
Al Hashimy added that the UAE has provided similar aid in recent months to Ukrainian civilians affected by the crisis, in addition to sending planes carrying aid to Ukrainian refugees in Poland and Moldova.
