Humanitarian cargo should go to south-eastern Ukraine on Sept 6 - Kuchma
MINSK. Sept 5 (Interfax) - First batches of humanitarian cargo should come to eastern regions of Ukraine on Saturday, September 6, second Ukrainian President (1994-2005) Leonid Kuchma said.
"The first humanitarian cargo should go to Donbas on Saturday. And a more or less clear plan of humanitarian corridors for the future for all willing to help Donetsk and Luhansk will be drafted on Monday," Kuchma said in Minsk on Friday following the contact group talks on settling the situation in eastern Ukraine.
Russian Ambassador to Ukraine Mikhail Zurabov said, "We are sending the first convoy under the ICRC aegis through the northern route tomorrow. It's being cleared of mines now."
"The second convoy will go by rail, and then we could send humanitarian aid from all donors interested in this through all these corridors," Zurabov said.
