Alwaght- Russian defense ministry says when talking about humanitarian aids, the US government means sending heavily guarded uncheckable cargos merely to the eastern parts of the Syrian city of Aleppo.
The spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry Igor Konashenkov said his country had a different definition for humanitarian aids than the one used by Washington when it comes to the civilians in Aleppo.
According to Konashenkov, for the Russian side humanitarian aid means the delivery of food and medications while for the US side - convoys going to the eastern part of the city only without being checked.
Responding to a recent claim by the US Department of State’s spokesperson John Kirby that called Russian humanitarian pauses as “useless”, Konashenkov said "Such statements once again demonstrate how differently the State Department and we understand "the use" of humanitarian pauses… Over the past months only, we have delivered more than 100 tons of most important aid - foods, medications and essentials.”
He said “this was delivered to all citizens of Aleppo, not limited to its western or eastern part. Meanwhile, the State Department has not delivered a mite to Syrians it is allegedly so much caring for."
“‘Useful’ aid, as the State Department understands it, as we’ve seen, means convoys bound to the eastern part of Aleppo only, without the right of search and control, with a heavy-gauge mortar escort," he said.
"Put that way, the latest humanitarian pause is really ‘useless’ for the militants that the US Department of State’s spokesperson Kirby is talking about," he added.
According to Konashenkov, Russia’s military forces have never received any information about any terrorist organization in Syria from the United States.
