War-ravaged Ukraine will send an 87-strong search and rescue team to Turkey to “help eliminate the consequences” of the earthquake.

The announcement comes in a decree published on the Ukrainian Cabinet office’s website.

Earlier today, President Volodymyr Zelensky issues a separate decree instructing his Cabinet to “ensure the provision of humanitarian aid to Turkey.”
