August, Russia has sent three humanitarian convoys of trucks, carrying
food, water, power generators, medication and warm clothes to eastern
Ukraine.
In April, Kiev forces started military operation against independence
supporters in eastern Ukraine, which claimed lives of over 3,700 people.
On September 5, the conflicting sides reached a ceasefire agreement at a
