His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE,  has ordered the provision of additional humanitarian relief aid worth $100 million to Ukrainian civilians affected by the crisis in Ukraine.

Reem Bint Ibrahim Al Hashemy, Minister of State for International Cooperation, said: This additional aid comes from the belief of the President of the importance of human solidarity, especially in cases of war and conflict, and is part of the UAE's continuous efforts to mitigate the humanitarian repercussions of the Ukrainian crisis.

She pointed out that the UAE has provided similar relief aid over the past months to Ukrainian civilians affected by the crisis, as well as operating planes carrying relief aid for Ukrainian refugees in Poland and Moldova, in response to the urgent appeal of the United Nations and the regional refugee response plan from Ukraine.
