Saudi Arabia sends 17th relief plane to Ukraine

ISTANBUL

Saudi Arabia said Thursday it dispatched a 17th relief cargo plane to Ukraine through Poland.

The plane was sent by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center to Rzeszow Airport in Poland, near the Ukrainian border, in preparation for a land route to Ukraine.

The plane carried 60 tons of relief items, including generators and electrical appliances.

A Saudi delegation, headed by Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan, visited the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv in February on the first visit of its kind by a Saudi and Arab official to Ukraine since Russia started its “special military operation” against its neighbor.

Russia's war entered its third year last month with Western countries backing Kyiv.
