Rostov-on-Don – All vehicles, which delivered Russian humanitarian aid to Luhansk on Saturday, have returned to Russia, spokesman for the Southern Customs Office Rayan Farukshin told Interfax on Saturday.
‘Customs clearance of all the vehicles ended at 20:30 p.m. Moscow time. The number of convoy vehicles which went out towards Luhansk has coincided with the number of those going in,’ Farukshin said.
The head of the OSCE (Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe) mission in the Rostov region, Paul Picard, said earlier that the mission’s observers at the Donetsk checkpoint registered the passage of 220 vehicles as part of an aid convoy in the early hours of Saturday.
Starting from 22:30 p.m. on Friday, we watched 220 humanitarian convoy vehicles heading towards the Ukrainian border, 193 of them with goods and the rest being support vehicles, Picard told reporters on Saturday.
After unloading in Luhansk, the first vehicles returned to Russia at 15:20 p.m. Moscow time on Saturday.
