MOSCOW, September 11 (RIA Novosti) - No breakthrough has been achieved in talks between Moscow and Kiev on the delivery of a second batch of humanitarian aid from Russia to crisis-hit eastern Ukraine, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Thursday.
“Unfortunately, there has been no breakthrough allowing the [Russian] convoy to start moving in the next few days,” spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said at a news briefing in Moscow.
“We hope that the delivery will be carried out with participation of Ukraine’s border guards and customs officers as well as officials from the International Committee of the Red Cross,” Lukashevich said.
The spokesman stressed that the details of the humanitarian operation are being coordinated and, considering the current volatile situation in eastern Ukraine, the process is rather difficult.
“We hope, however, that the coordination would not be dragged out,” Lukashevich said.
