Official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova told reporters about this today.
“The authors’ interpretation of the chronology of events with the trade blockade of the LPR and DPR is noteworthy. One gets the impression that this was the response of the Kyiv authorities to the introduction of so-called external control over all Ukrainian enterprises. There is not a word in the report about the provocative actions of the notorious ATO veterans who blocked transport links with Donbass,” Zakharova said.
At the same time, according to UNICEF, the number of children in need of help in Donbass has reached 1 million
“We would like to draw attention to the difficult situation of the children of Donbass. is aggravated by the blockade imposed by the Ukrainian government on supplies of food and medicine,” Zakharova said.
She recalled that Russia is trying to alleviate the situation of the republics. As of March 23, 62 humanitarian convoys with 66 thousand tons of cargo were sent. These are food products, medicines, fuel, building materials, electrical equipment, power generating stations, materials for agricultural needs, and educational literature.
“Let me remind you that two years ago the Western media passed off the white trucks of humanitarian convoys as vehicles carrying armored vehicles. Now they don’t notice them at all,” Zakharova said.
