Lugansk People’s Republic rescuers have delivered foodstuffs and staple goods to the frontline Rubezhnoye town and the Kudryashovka village, the LPR Emergencies Ministry press service reported on Thursday.
“On May 4, the rescuers, led by Emergency Situations Response Department Head Roman Kochetov delivered humanitarian aid to residents of Rubezhnoye and Kudryashovka,” the report said. “The cargo included bottled water, bread, staple food, essential and personal hygiene products massing 16 tons overall.”
The goods were unloaded into cellars where people keep hiding from unceasing strikes by Ukrainian forces, the LPR Emergencies Ministry said.
Previously, the LPR delivered humanitarian aid to Rubezhnoye on April 24.
On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a special military operation to protect Donbass residents from Ukrainian aggression. Earlier, LPR and DPR Heads Leonid Pasechnik and Denis Pushilin asked the Russian leader to provide military assistance. As of now, some 80 percent of the LPR territory has been liberated.
The Ukrainian government launched the so-called anti-terrorist operation against Donbass in April 2014. The peace talks participants have announced ceasefire more than 20 times since the autumn of 2014. Kiev forces regularly violated the truce opening fire with large caliber artillery, mortars and tank guns which were to have been withdrawn from the contact line under the accords. *i*s
