“In accordance with clause 11 of the“ Package of Measures, ”the Donbass, within the framework of legislation on special status, will have the right to carry out cross-border cooperation with the regions of Russia, and the central authorities, that is, Kiev, must assist it in this.
In this regard, Russian actions in no way contradict the Minsk agreements - unlike the actions of the Ukrainian authorities, as well as the EU, which, instead of humanitarian aid, is considering sending direct military-technical support to the Kiev authorities, ”she said.
On November 15, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on the provision of humanitarian support to the population of certain areas of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions of Ukraine.
Boris Gryzlov, Russia's plenipotentiary in the contact group for resolving the situation in eastern Ukraine, noted that the decree is a forced response to Kiev's actions, which are aimed at escalating the conflict and in fact fall under the UN convention on the prevention of manifestations of genocide.
At the same time, the European Union called on Russia to cancel this decision.
