to deliver humanitarian aid to the 90,000 residents living in the neighborhoods of East Aleppo that have been freed from terrorists by the Syrian army has been made by the US, UK, France, or the UN, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
"While Western countries and representatives of various international organizations were vocal about the need to make humanitarian deliveries to eastern Aleppo possible
when it was fully under rebel control, they seem to have lost interest in helping the stricken residents now that they've been liberated by government forces," Russian Defense Ministry spokesman General Igor Konashenkov said on Wednesday.
"In the last few weeks, they [Western countries] were insistently demanding that humanitarian convoys be ensured access to the rebel-held parts of eastern Aleppo.
However, now, two days since over 90,000 Aleppo residents were liberated from the terrorists, it turns out that not a single offer to provide humanitarian help to them has been submitted either by the office of UN special envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura, or the UK, the French foreign ministries, or the US State Department," Konashenkov elaborated, adding that nothing is preventing aid deliveries at the moment.
Konashenkov says the apparent reluctance of Western governments to provide aid to East Aleppo's recently liberated residents now that it's actually possible to deliver
it suggests that those powers weren't really concerned about those supplies reaching the civilian population in the first place."Apparently, this aid was intended for some other people living in the eastern Aleppo neighborhoods," he said, implying that it had really been meant for the militants fighting the Syrian government there.
