The Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Oleksiy Danilov answered the question of the editor-in-chief of DOM and UA TV channel Oleksiy Matsuka, whether Ukraine can currently send humanitarian aid to the occupied territories.

He stated this at a briefing, UA reports.

“We can. But it is necessary to understand that they have a desire to accept it. And we need to understand who to deal with this issue” – said Danilov.

Oleksiy Matsuka noted that there is an opinion about the Ukrainian legislation that the international assistance provided by the partners still needs to be taken into account. And this complicates delivery to uncontrolled areas. Oleksiy Danilov commented on this statement.

“It’s hard for me to say, we have all the organizations that work, it’s the Red Cross and other partners, they all work in law. We are no different in any way. There are no bureaucracies, we work according to international rules” – the Secretary of the National Security and Defense explained.

To remind, the US Congress approved new sanctions against Russia.
