Baku-APA. All trucks from the Russian humanitarian convoy for southeastern Ukraine’s residents have arrived in the city of Luhansk in the self-proclaimed Luhansk People’s Republic, a city administration spokesman said Friday, APA reports quoting ITAR-TASS.

“Unloading of humanitarian cargoes has started. The cargoes will then be distributed among residents,” the spokesman said. He did not rule out that part of the aid will later be sent to the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic.

The Russian Emergency Situations Ministry sent a convoy of some 270 trucks with relief supplies for residents of the war-torn southeast of Ukraine on August 12. The cargo contains some 2,000 metric tons of humanitarian aid, including food (grain, sugar, baby food), medications, sleeping bags and portable power generators.
