Russia delivers 95 tons of food, medications to Lugansk

A humanitarian aid convoy of the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry (EMERCOM) has delivered 95 tons of foodstuffs and medications to Lugansk, the Lugansk People’s Republic Emergencies Ministry press service reported.

 

“On Monday, November 14, a new EMERCOM convoy delivered relief supplies for Donbass residents to the LPR capital,” the press service  said. “Six EMERCOM trucks have brought foodstuffs (canned meat and fish) and medications massing 95 tons.”

 

On November 10, EMERCOM trucks delivered 270 tons of food to Lugansk.

 

Russia first sent relief supplies to the LPR on August 22, 2014. Over eight years, it has sent more than 150,000 tons of humanitarian aid to the Donbass Republics.

 

The Ukrainian government launched the so-called anti-terrorist operation against Donbass in April 2014.  The peace talks that began soon thereafter failed to reach tangible results due to Kiev’s position to settle the conflict by force.

 

The Lugansk People’s Republic became a part of Russia on September 30, 2022 following the unification referendum.*i*ie
