The Yemeni government has asked Russia to assist in its efforts to combat the spread of COVID-19 and a list of necessary medical equipment and supplies has already been sent to Moscow, the Yemeni ambassador to Russia, Ahmed Salem Al-Wahishi, told Sputnik last week.
"We confirm that we received such a note from the Yemeni Embassy in Moscow," the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
Russia received similar requests from Algeria, Egypt, Qatar, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Palestine, Syria, Sudan, and Tunisia, the ministry said.
