The United Arab Emirates sent a plane carrying 50 tonnes of humanitarian cargo and ambulances to Ukraine.

"The UAE sent another plane with humanitarian aid to Ukraine. 50 tonnes of humanitarian cargo and fully equipped with medical equipment ambulances have arrived in Warsaw today," the Embassy of Ukraine in the UAE posted on Facebook on April 14, Ukrinform reports.

Deputy Foreign Minister of Ukraine Dmytro Senik expressed his sincere appreciation to the UAE leadership and UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation for their prompt response to humanitarian challenges, noting that each plane demonstrates the Emirates' real efforts to meet the vital needs of Ukrainians affected by Russian military aggression.

In his turn, the UAE Ambassador to Ukraine Salem Ahmed Al-Kaabi said that in March the UAE launched a humanitarian air bridge ensuring the delivery and transfer to Ukraine of tons of basic food and medical aid.

"This time the Emirati humanitarian cargo was delivered by Ukrainian An-124," the Embassy noted.

On April 14, Vinnytsia received 100 tonnes of food cargo from the Swiss humanitarian mission for the affected towns and displaced persons.
