Cargo ship with aids for Ukraine sailed from Marseille
On Sep 28, 2022, the 'Aknoul', carrying 1,000 tonnes of aid has departed for Ukraine from Marseille, marking France's most significant humanitarian delivery since Russia invaded the Ukraine in late February. The cargo worth €10 million “concretely materialises [France’s] solidarity. It would have been inconceivable for us to remain indifferent to the fate of the Ukrainian people suffering in their flesh this war. A war they did not choose and against which they are resisting with so much courage. I say this with some gravity, as Russia renews its aggressive rhetoric, as it organises sham referendums that signal its status as a pariah state, and as unexplained incidents take place in the Baltic Sea. Yes, we will have to maintain our commitment over time," French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna said at the port. The ship was carrying 15 fire and rescue vehicles, eight boats, bridges in parts, rescue and clearing equipment, 25 tonnes of medical equipment, and 60,000 food rations, according to the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which coordinates the operation. The shipment should arrive at the port of Constantaon Oct 4, before it heads to Ukraine.
