Yermak, UAE minister discuss investment in Ukraine's energy, agriculture

According to Ukrinform, Yermak shared details of the meeting on Telegram.

According to him, Minister Al Hashimy began the meeting by expressing condolences to Ukrainians affected by the latest brutal Russian attacks.

"This immediately set the tone of the conversation – open and humane," Yermak said.

He said the most emotional part of the discussion concerned Ukrainian children.

"As a mother of three, the minister deeply understands our pain," Yermak added.

The UAE, he said, has shown strong interest in investing in Ukraine, particularly in the energy, infrastructure, and agricultural sectors, as well as many other areas.

The two sides also discussed ways to consolidate international efforts to achieve a just peace. The UAE has already provided substantial humanitarian aid and, crucially, helped facilitate prisoner exchanges that have brought more than 2,000 Ukrainians home.

"It was a conversation about shared values and results," Yermak concluded.
