The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia, Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, paid a working visit to Ukraine.
The state signs $400 million in humanitarian aid during a high-level delegation's visit to Kyiv, the Saudi foreign minister says.
He also met with his Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba and the head of the Ukrainian president's office Andriy Yermak. The Saudi top diplomat discussed opportunities to enhance bilateral cooperation in a wide range of fields, in addition to reviewing regional and international developments of common concern.
The aid package was first announced by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman last October after his phone call with Ukrainian President. The Crown Prince had expressed the Kingdom's support of de-escalation efforts and readiness to continue mediation efforts to resolve the conflict.
