"... And let me devote a minute to the humanitarian theme, which is very important. I urge you to carefully read the statement of Jeffrey Feldman, UN Under-Secretary-General, who said last night about the crucial importance of providing access to humanitarian assistance to the Donbas. ...

The Ukrainian government should take steps to promote the delivery of humanitarian assistance that Ukrainians want to provide to their fellow citizens in the East. I greatly appreciate the efforts of Rinat Akhmetov, who may have done more than anyone else in this country to deliver products and clothes to the victims of the violence that is taking place in the Donbas.

All evidence available to me convinces me that the help that he sends is legitimate and she needs to be given a green light so that she gets to the addressees. I would like the other Ukrainian oligarchs to be as generous as he, spending millions of hryvnias to satisfy the needs of the affected population in the Donbass. Not to mention humanitarian and moral aspects, it's important for Ukrainians to show to the population of Donbass that they have not been forgotten about it.
