Noginsk - Russia's Emergency Situations Ministry will soon put together one more aid convoy for eastern Ukraine, the ministry's chief military expert said.
“The date for its departure will be approved additionally,” Eduard Chizhikov said on Saturday.
A ceremonial welcome was paid at the ministry’s Noginsk Rescue Center to a convoy that returned after delivering more than 2,000 tonnes of aid to Donetsk and Luhansk last weekend.
The cargo included “food, medicaments and construction materials, which will help people feel comfortable when the cold season comes,” Chizhikov said.
“There were no problems when we were crossing the border. We were welcomed warmly throughout our journey,” said convoy leader Alexander Lekomtsev.
Between Aug. 23 and Oct. 4, Russian convoys took more than 7,000 tonnes of aid to eastern Ukraine.
