About a month before India is set to host the G-20 leaders summit, the Ukraine Embassy here will have its new Ambassador, a post which has been vacant for over a year. Deputy Defence Minister of Ukraine Major General Oleksandr Polishchuk (retd), the new envoy, is scheduled to arrive in New Delhi on August 8 and is expected to take charge immediately, said diplomatic sources.
Earlier this week in Kyiv, India handed over two batches of humanitarian aid to Ukraine. On Thursday, Indian Ambassador to Ukraine Harsh Jain handed over the 14th consignment of humanitarian aid, comprising essential medicines to Ihor Kuzin, Ukraine’s Deputy Minister of Health, who thanked the Government of India for the assistance, the Indian Embassy said on social media.
Mr. Jain also handed over humanitarian aid comprising sleeping bags, blankets and tents to Shyroke Village Council and Zaporizhzhia Geriatric Boarding House in presence of Yuriy Malashko, head of the Zaporizhzhia state administration.
