MOSCOW. Feb 12 (Interfax) - The Russian Emergency Situations Ministry has denied reports that Russian relief supplies intended for Donbas include other items.
"There is no reason to say that our deliveries include something else in addition to humanitarian aid," Deputy Emergency Situations Minister Vladimir Stepanov told a meeting of the committee for public support of residents in the south-east of Ukraine.
The Ukrainian side has been checking all supplies being delivered to Ukraine's south-eastern regions, he said.
"All vehicles are examined as they enter and exit [Ukrainian territory]. It is highly important," Stepanov said.
