On August 13, humanitarian cargo weighing 56.6 tonnes was delivered to certain areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions (CADLR) currently occupied by Russia.

As the press service of the Ministry of Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine informs, three trucks transported humanitarian cargo from the parties to the Geneva Conventions, which contribute to the global budget of the International Committee of the Red Cross, through the entry-exit checkpoint “Novotroitske”.

In accordance with Paragraph 1 of the Order of the Ministry No. 51 of July 17, 2020, the ICRC informs about the intentions to transfer humanitarian goods to the areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, which are currently beyond the control of the Ukrainian authorities," reads the ICRC’s letter to the Ministry of Reintegration.
