According to Finland's Yle broadcaster, Loovi said that a new humanitarian cargo containing clothes had long been waiting to be sent to Ukraine, but the Ukrainian government was stalling the process.
The broadcaster said that Loovi last held talks with Ukraine's ambassador on Monday, with the diplomat informing the FRC manager that the country was in the process of altering its laws to solve such bureaucratic delays.
Loovi reportedly expressed hope that the humanitarian aid would be sent to Ukraine this week.
The Finnish Red Cross previously sent clothes to southeastern Ukraine in the fall.
Russia has also been providing humanitarian aid to southeastern Ukraine, sending more than a dozen relief cargo convoys with food, blankets, medicine, electric power generators and building materials. Germany has also contributed to the cause, sending 112 trucks of humanitarian aid in October 2014.
