Saudi Arabia sends two planes with 168 tons of humanitarian aid to Ukraine

March 4 (EUROPA PRESS) –

Saudi Arabia has confirmed the shipment of two planes loaded with 168 tons of humanitarian aid destined for Ukraine, which is already at an airport in Poland near the Ukrainian border.

The material transported by the planes, the official SPA agency has detailed, includes materials for shelters, electric generators and medical supplies.

The country would have thus complied with the agreement signed in October, in which it promised to send aid worth 400 million dollars (375 million euros), after talks between the Saudi crown prince, Mohamed bin Salman, and the Ukrainian president, Volodimir Zelensky.

Previously, Saudi Arabia delivered 10 million dollars (9.4 million euros) in aid for Ukrainian refugees in border countries, especially Poland, a shipment that was made in coordination with the Polish government and the United Nations Organization .
