Belarus donates 58 tonnes of humanitarian assistance to Donbas residents
Belarus has donated to Ukraine 58 tonnes of humanitarian aid for residents of occupied areas of Donbas in eastern Ukraine.
Belarusian Ambassador to Ukraine Igor Sokol said the shipment crossed the border on June 12 and will be delivered to the International Committee of the Red Cross warehouses in Ukraine located outside of Kyiv. The shipment will then be sent to both government-controlled and occupied areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
"It is important for the Belarusian president that assistance will be delivered to areas of Donbas controlled by Ukrainian forces and to occupied areas of Donbas," the ambassador said during a press conference on Monday in the Kyiv-based Interfax-Ukraine news agency.
The shipment contains vegetable oil, pasta, sugar, flour and hygienic items, such as shampoo, soap and toothpaste. All products were manufactured in Belarus.
Deputy Minister for Temporarily Occupied Territories Hryhoriy Tuka thanked Belarus for the gesture.
