ArmInfo.Medical humanitarian aid from Armenia, received by the headquarters of the Union of Armenians of Ukraine, was transferred to a military hospital in Dnieper.  Humanitarian assistance includes medical supplies and medicines for wounded Ukrainian military personnel, reported the press service of the Dnepr Headquarters.

The head of the headquarters of the Union of Armenians of Ukraine,  David Mkrtchyan, said that humanitarian aid was transferred by the  Armenian government in response to their request. It is recalled that  in July 2023, at the summer conference of the Union of Armenians of  Ukraine, it was decided to appeal to the government of the Republic  of Armenia in order to obtain support from Ukraine. According to the  decision of the Headquarters, all assistance received will be  completely transferred to the military hospital of Ukraine.

"Against the backdrop of the continuation of Russia's destructive war  against Ukraine, the Headquarters of the Union of Armenians of  Ukraine decided to transfer this humanitarian cargo in full to a  military hospital in Ukraine. This will strengthen the provision of  prompt medical care to wounded military personnel in military  hospitals for their speedy stabilization and speedy recovery," noted  David Mkrtchyan.

The ceremony of transferring medical humanitarian aid from Armenia to  the Dnepr military hospital took place on February 1 on the square of  the Dnepropetrovsk Regional Military Administration with the  participation of the Chairman of the Headquarters of the Union of  Armenians of Ukraine David Mkrtchyan, the Head of the Dnepropetrovsk  Regional Military Administration Sergius Lisak, the Ambassador of  Armenia to Ukraine Vladimir Karapetyan, the Chairman of the Ukrainian  Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church of Bishop Markos  Hovhannisyan, Chairman of the CF "Armenian Headquarters Dnepr" David  Arakelyan, member of the GO "Union of Armenians of Ukraine" Avetik  Gasparyan.

This is not the first aid from Armenia to Ukraine. Last September,  the wife of the Prime Minister of Armenia, Anna Hakobyan, brought  humanitarian aid to Ukraine in the form of more than 1,000  smartphones, tablets and laptops intended for schoolchildren. Let us  add that on the same day, a meeting took place between Armenian  Ambassador Vladimir Karapetyan and the head of the Dnepropetrovsk  Regional Military Administration Sergei Lisak. During the meeting,  the ambassador provided up-to-date information on the medical  humanitarian assistance provided to Ukraine from the Armenian  government.  Particular attention was paid to the current state and  prospects for the development of Ukrainian-Armenian relations.

Sergey Lisak and Vladimir Karapetyan exchanged views on the  possibilities of cooperation between the two countries.
