Residents of the Ukrainian-controlled part of the DPR did not receive humanitarian aid

Humanitarian aid from international charitable foundations, including the Red Cross, was not distributed to residents of the Ukrainian-controlled part of the DPR. Yuri Mukhin, evacuated from the village of Novgorodskoye on the outskirts of Toretsk, spoke about this on July 30, RIA Novosti reports.

According to Mukhin, during their stay in the Ukrainian-controlled territory, his family contacted various organisations to receive humanitarian aid, but these attempts were unsuccessful.

“My wife and daughter tried very hard, all this Red Cross, all these organizations, I don’t know what they are called, that provide help. No matter how hard we tried, the requests were granted. (There they responded – approx. IA Krasnaya Vesna): “You don’t meet our criteria. And what criteria?” Mukhin asked.

According to him, this situation developed specifically in the DPR and LPR, although humanitarian aid was delivered to other areas where there were no hostilities.

Mukhin also explained that residents of these territories received only meager pensions and benefits for temporarily displaced persons. His wife received a pension of 5,000 hryvnia (about 10,000 rubles) and his daughter received a subsidy for temporarily displaced persons of 2,000 hryvnia (about 4,000 rubles).
