We strongly condemn the attack on the airport in Aden, temporary capital of the Republic of Yemen on December 30, which resulted in deaths of dozens of people.

We express our condolences to the families of the victims and wish speedy recovery to the injured.

We view this terrorist act as an attempt to assassinate members of the legitimate and internationally recognized Yemeni Government. The attack is aimed at thwarting efforts, in particular within the framework of the Riyadh Agreement, to stabilize the security, political and humanitarian situation in Yemen. 

Ukraine invariably supports the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Republic of Yemen. We express our solidarity with the newly formed Government and the people of Yemen in their aspirations and efforts to achieve the long-awaited peace in the country.
