Russia Says It Intends To Send Another Aid Convoy To Ukraine
Russia’s Foreign Minister Lavrov said Monday Russia had told Ukraine it intends to send another humanitarian aid convoy.
The announcement comes days after hundreds of Russian aid trucks returned home from eastern Ukraine.
“The humanitarian situation is not improving but deteriorating,” Lavrov told a news conference. “We want to reach an agreement on all conditions for delivering a second convoy by the same route… in the coming days.”
Lavrov also said damage to civilian infrastructure in east Ukraine, where Kiev is fighting separatists, cannot all be put down to errors or chance.
Russia unilaterally sent hundreds of aid trucks into Ukraine through a rebel-held border point Friday, saying it had lost patience with Ukraine’s delaying tactics, a move that Ukraine promptly described as an invasion. (Reuters)
