The Government of the Russian Federation has taken an initiative to provide humanitarian assistance to the Republic of Artsakh in connection with the humanitarian crisis that has developed in our republic, NKR InfoCenter reports.

"The aid containing vital Russian-made products was recently sent to Artsakh through the Russian Red Cross on the organization's vehicles.

The authorities of the Republic of Artsakh, proceeding from the need to alleviate the acute humanitarian problems caused by the total blockade carried out by Azerbaijan, decided to allow the import of Russian cargoes to our republic through the town of Askeran.

An agreement was reached to restore the transportation of humanitarian goods through the Lachin corridor through Russian peacekeepers and the International Committee of the Red Cross,” the statement says.
