The ministry underscored the necessity of minimizing the humanitarian fallout from the conflict, bolstering regional and global stability, and achieving a just and lasting peace.

The UAE has established itself as a proactive humanitarian facilitator in recent mediation efforts between Russia and Ukraine, gaining international acclaim for its crucial role in orchestrating prisoner exchanges throughout the conflict.
