ROSTOV REGION, September 20 (RIA Novosti) – The Russian humanitarian convoy has arrived in the Donetsk Region, a RIA Novosti correspondent reported Saturday.
Some 30 trucks of the Russian humanitarian convoy crossed into Ukraine earlier via a checkpoint in the Rostov Region where they previously cleared customs.
The Russian side has repeatedly invited Ukrainian customs officials and representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to inspect the cargo, but was turned down without explanation.
The third Russian humanitarian convoy comprises some 200 trucks that carry water, food, generators and medication to the eastern regions of Ukraine.
In late August, Russia sent the first convoy with humanitarian aid that consisted of 280 trucks. The second humanitarian convoy arrived in the city of Luhansk last weekend, carrying cereals, sugar, tinned food, drinking water, medication and warm clothes, and safely returned to Russian.
