Azerbaijan's Sumgayit City Provides Humanitarian Aid To Ukraine
(MENAFN- AzerNews)
By Vugar Khalilov
Azerbaijan's third-largest city of Sumgayit has sent
humanitarian aid, including food, household items, and medical
supplies to Ukraine, Azernews reports, citing the city
administration.
The humanitarian cargo to be delivered to the Polish Warsaw
airport departed from the Heydar Aliyev International Airport at
1000 hours on July 5 with the Ukrainian ambassador in Baku and
members of Sumgayit city administrations in presence.
The humanitarian supply, totaling 50 tons, was sent in response
to an official request to the Sumgayit city administration from
Ukraine's Cherkasy regional administration as twin cities and is
meant for the needs of the regional population, the report
underlined.
On July 5, at the Heydar Aliyev International Airport, Ukrainian
ambassador to Azerbaijan Vladislav Kanevsky told the media that
Azerbaijan had supplied over 1,500 tons of humanitarian aid to
Ukraine.
'I am glad that another meeting is taking place here, in a
symbolic place, at Baku airport. It is from here that Azerbaijan's
humanitarian aid to Ukraine is sent. And I would like to express my
sincere gratitude to friendly Azerbaijan, to all the Azerbaijani
people for providing such important humanitarian aid to Ukraine. In
total, Azerbaijan has already handed over to Ukraine more than
1,500 tons of important humanitarian cargo worth over 20 million
dollars. This is not just a formal gesture - Azerbaijan is
transferring critical aid to the civilians of Ukraine. It includes
both food and medical equipment. It is gratifying that the process
of providing humanitarian aid to Ukraine has reached a new level,
and in this regard, I would like to thank the Executive Power of
Sumgayit for providing assistance to Cherkasy, its twin city. This
initiative has become an example for other cities and regions of
Azerbaijan, which have started to actively provide assistance to
Ukraine. This is a gesture of true friendship between the Ukrainian
and Azerbaijani peoples,' the ambassador stressed.
