International Committee of the Red Cross will expand its mission in the Donbas
The International Committee of the Red Cross is negotiating with both sides of the conflict to expand its mission in the Donbas, according to ICRC President, Peter Maurer, as reported by Interfax.
"This is my fourth visit here to talk with local authorities in Luhansk, Donetsk, and in Kyiv about the expansion of our operation into Ukraine," he said.
Peter Maurer noted that the humanitarian situation in the Donbas has become very complicated again.
"In the last couple of weeks we are seeing increased conflict again. Many people have moved, many people have lost their jobs, their normal lives, and homes. The economy suffers and human lives suffer, and it is very important that we expand our humanitarian operation in the Donbas on both sides of the front line," he said.
