Moscow has accused Kiev of deliberately holding up the delivery of Russian humanitarian aid to the Donetsk and Lugansk regions in eastern Ukraine, according to a new statement by the Russian Foreign Ministry.
The ministry says Russia has ordered the convoy to proceed, without waiting for further permission.
It added the “excuses” for delaying the aid from entering Ukraine have been “exhausted”.
First trucks, carrying Russian humanitarian aid have crossed the border with Ukraine and stopped at Izvarino check-point, RIA Novosti reports.
“Our convoy with humanitarian aid is starting to move in the direction of Lugansk,” the statement reads. “We are of course ready for it to be accompanied by Red Cross representatives and for their participation in the aid’s distribution.”
“There’s a feeling that the current Ukrainian authorities have been consciously putting the humanitarian aid delivery on hold to arrive at a situation where there’ll be just no one left to get it,” the Ministry’s statement reads.
