Citizens Commissioner Panayiotis Sentonas said on Friday the package includes mainly medical equipment such as respirators, defibrillators and first aid supplies.

Inside there are also, firefighting uniforms provided by the Cyprus fire department and other medicines donated by the Cyprus Red Cross.

The package was transported to the port under the escort of Sentonas, accompanied by the Ambassador of Ukraine to Cyprus Ruslan Nimchynskyi.
