The Red Cross said truckloads of Russian humanitarian aid may start crossing the border tomorrow to eastern Ukraine, where months of fighting has cut off water and electricity to residents of the region’s biggest cities.
Inspections of almost 300 Russian trucks have begun, Laurent Corbaz, the International Committee of the Red Cross’s head of operations for Europe, said today in Moscow. The organization had been seeking security guarantees as battles raged on between Ukraine’s army and pro-Russian separatists.
