The Union of Armenians of Ukraine and the Embassy of the Republic of Armenia in Ukraine handed over 10 tons of medicines to the National Military Medical Clinical Center “Main Military Clinical Hospital”.

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reported on this.

The event was attended by Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Natalia Kalmykova and Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Armenia in Ukraine Vladimir Karapetyan.

Also, the Commander of Medical Forces of Armed Forces of Ukraine, Major General of the Medical Service Anatolii Kazmirchuk, the Head of the Main Military Clinical Hospital, Colonel of the Medical Service Oleh Kolisnyk, and representatives of the Armenian community in Ukraine.

“The humanitarian aid in the form of medicines that the Union of Armenians of Ukraine and the Embassy of the Republic of Armenia in Ukraine are handing over to the Main Military Clinical Hospital today is a very important contribution to the treatment and recovery of Ukraine’s defenders. Thank you very much for your help and support!” Natalia Kalmykova said.

It is noted that the transferred humanitarian aid can be used in many clinical areas, including antibacterial therapy and pain relief for the wounded and sick.

“In this difficult time for Ukraine, when a full-scale war has been going on for almost two years, Armenia offers a helping hand. For the first time, such large-scale humanitarian aid to Ukrainian schoolchildren was brought in September 2023 by the wife of the Prime Minister, Mrs. Anna Hakobyan. Today, the Headquarters of the Union of Armenians of Ukraine is handing over the medicines,” said Ambassador of Armenia in Ukraine Vladimir Karapetyan.

The Ministry of Defense also said that within the framework of the humanitarian project, representatives of Armenia have already handed over an aid to a military hospital in the city of Dnipro.

The Ministry of Defense also said that Kharkiv will receive the same cargo in the near future.
