Moscow (Antara/Xinhua-OANA) - The Russian Foreign Ministry on Saturday blamed Kiev for interfering with the Russian humanitarian aid delivery to troubled regions in eastern Ukraine. Kiev's recent accusation that Moscow delayed the handover of some documents to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) was "perplexing," the Interfax news agency quoted a statement of the ministry as saying. Such accusations are "new attempts to interfere with delivery of the Russian humanitarian aid to the people in Lugansk and Donetsk," the statement said. "Those involved in and ... those who ordered the attack on the Izvarino-Lugansk route under Kiev's permission bear direct responsibility for the deteriorating humanitarian crisis in Ukraine's southeast," the ministry noted. Ukrainian authorities claimed that Russia refused to deliver the humanitarian aid across the checkpoints controlled by Ukraine, and has not presented information on contents of the humanitarian aid. In response, Russia said that the current Izvarino-Lugansk delivery route was Kiev's choice since "they could not guarantee the original one's safety," which Russia agreed to at all times.(*)
