The UAE's humanitarian initiatives to provide aid to Ukraine are ongoing. The country has successfully mediated seven times between Russia and Ukraine in 2024. The latest mediation in August resulted in the exchange of 230 prisoners from both sides, bringing the total number of exchanged prisoners to 1,788.
As part of its humanitarian initiatives since the beginning of the crisis, the UAE has allocated $105 million to support humanitarian initiatives in Ukraine. This includes sending 14 aircraft with humanitarian aid, operating two ships via Romania, and providing 1,015 tons of medical, food, and relief supplies. Additionally, the UAE has sent 50 fully equipped ambulances to support the Ukrainian healthcare sector.
The UAE has also contributed to Ukraine's education sector with 7,500 laptops and 10,000 school bags. To address harsh winter conditions and power outages, 4,520 generators were sent. Support has also been extended to Ukrainian refugees in Moldova, Poland, and Bulgaria.
Furthermore, 125 tons of food and medical supplies were transported from the International Humanitarian City in Dubai via two aircraft operated by international organizations based in the UAE.
