Kiev Denies Knowledge of New Russian Humanitarian Convoy

Kiev Denies Knowledge of New Russian Humanitarian Convoy .(RN).

The Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council has received no official information about the Russian humanitarian aid convoy announced earlier, the body’s spokesperson Andriy Lysenko told the press on Tuesday.

"No official information, no official documents have been received by the Ukrainian side on this issue," Lysenko said at a briefing in Kiev.

Earlier on Tuesday, Russia’s Emergencies Ministry announced it would send another humanitarian aid convoy of up to 50 trucks to Ukraine later in the day.

Russia will send up to 3,000 metric tons of humanitarian aid to Ukraine's southeastern regions within a week, Russian Deputy Emergencies Minister Vladimir Stepanov told RIA Novosti Tuesday.

"Within a week the total weight of humanitarian aid will amount to 3,000 metric tons," Stepanov said, adding that it will be delivered both by aircraft and land vehicles.

According to Stepanov, on Tuesday three aircraft will deliver part of the aid to the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don, where it will be loaded onto trucks.

The aid includes food, medicine and construction materials that will help residents of southeastern Ukraine to prepare for the winter.

The deliveries of aid to Ukraine are being carried out in coordination with the Red Cross and the Russian Foreign Ministry.

Earlier today, Russia's Emergency Ministry confirmed that on October 28 a convoy of up to 50 trucks carrying humanitarian aid for the people of Donetsk and Luhansk regions will depart from the city of Noginsk.

After Sunday's elections they won't need to advise Kiev of anything they deliver to the newly democratic state of #Novorossiya. Including Peace-Keepers.
