The country had on Wednesday announced $5 million in humanitarian assistance to benefit civilians impacted by the situation in Ukraine. The contribution was made to the United Nations’ Humanitarian Flash Appeal and the Regional Refugee Response Plan for Ukraine and is a reflection of the UAE’s emphasis on humanitarian solidarity in conflict settings.

Last week, at a meeting of the UN Security Council in New York, the UAE called for immediate de-escalation and the cessation of hostilities.
