Citizens' Commissioner Panagiotis Sentonas, accompanied by the Ambassador of Ukraine to Cyprus Mr. Ruslan Nimchynskyi, visited today the new Limassol Port, from where the new humanitarian aid package will be sent to Ukraine.
In his statements to journalists, Mr. Sentonas said that "this is essentially the third shipment to Ukraine and the Ukrainian people."
It mainly includes medical equipment, such as, for example, respirators, defibrillators, first aid supplies, firefighting uniforms sent by the Cyprus Fire Service, as well as medicines offered by the Cyprus Red Cross.
In fact, this consignment is leaving Cyprus tomorrow, will arrive in Thessaloniki and will then arrive at the Humanitarian Aid Centre set up by the European Civil Protection Mechanism in Romania, to meet needs declared by the Ukrainian authorities."
Finally, the Commissioner for Civil Protection noted that "I want once again to thank all those who have contributed to this effort, and there are many of them. They are the municipalities of Cyprus, communities, organized groups, companies and others.
I also thank the competent services of the state, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Civil Defence, the Ports Authority, the National Guard and the company Amathous Aegean which all these months offers its premises for the preparation of the material for the mission".
