Russia’s Defense Ministry will provide maximum assistance in delivering humanitarian aid to Aleppo residents provided the Western countries decide to send aid, the ministry’s spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov said on Thursday commenting on the common statement on the situation in Aleppo issued by France, the US, Germany, Canada, Italy and the UK, TASS reports.
"If you are willing to send humanitarian aid for Aleppo residents, then inform us where the aid is. Russia’s defense ministry will provide maximum assistance so that the convoys arrive in Aleppo as fast as possible and civilians receive the aid. But if you just don’t have any humanitarian aid then you can’t feed Aleppo residents empty promises," Konashenkov stressed.
According to the Russian defense ministry, over 70% of the civilian dwelling areas have already been cleared from militants, Russia has been delivering dozens of tons of humanitarian aid to these areas.
