Red Cross will increase its assistance to Ukraine
The International Committee of the Red Cross is willing to expand its activity in Ukraine for the solution of complicated humanitarian situation in the occupied territories. Prospects of further cooperation have been discussed in the course of the meeting between President Petro Poroshenko and President of the ICRC Peter Maurer.
The Head of State has emphasized: “Ukraine appreciates the ICRC’s willingness to provide assistance to the victims of the conflict”.
The President has noted the importance of Ukraine’s cooperation with the ICRC for the delivery of the international humanitarian aid to the people living in the occupied territories of Donbas. The Head of State has emphasized that the Government of Ukraine was constantly cooperating with the ICRC. Earlier, at the meeting with the ICRC mission, Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Hennadiy Zubko has discussed the need for accelerating the procedures of registration of humanitarian cargoes from the ICRC.
Peter Maurer has noted that the ICRC was ready to increase the number of trucks with humanitarian cargo significantly. According to him, the ICRC’s activity in Ukraine is among 5 biggest and top-priority operations of the Committee in the world. In 2015, the ICRC’s budget in Ukraine will amount to USD 84.5 million.
The President has called on the ICRC to use all opportunities to increase the volume of the international humanitarian aid for the people of Ukraine that found themselves in difficult conditions due to the aggression of Russia.
The Head of State has touched upon the issue of non-fulfillment of the item of the Minsk agreements concerning the liberation of hostages, particularly Ukrainian pilot Nadiya Savchenko, who has been kidnapped over 10 months ago and is still kept in Russian prison due to the trumped up charges. The President has urged the ICRC to intensify its work in order to liberate Nadiya Savchenko immediately.
President Maurer noted that the ICRC was willing to participate in the process of liberation of all hostages more actively, particularly in their secure transportation and the search of missing persons.

Russia Is Boosting Air Defenses Inside Eastern Ukraine
(US State Dept)
Russia is building up its air defenses inside of eastern Ukraine and bolstering forces along the border in violation of a recent truce, the State Department said on Wednesday.
"The Russian military has deployed additional air defense systems into eastern Ukraine and moved several of these nearer the front lines," State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said in a statement.
"Russia is also building up its forces along its border with Ukraine," the statement added. "After maintaining a relatively steady presence along the border, Russia is sending additional units there."
According to the State Department, the additional forces will give Russia its largest presence on the border since October 2014.
Moscow was also shipping heavy weapons into eastern Ukraine and Russian-separatist forces were conducting increasingly complex training in the restive eastern part of the country, including with drones, in an "unmistakable sign of Russia's presence," Harf added.

To respond to this and other Russian allegations, the Obama administration declassified intelligence describing a range of Russian military activities in and near Ukraine, which was included in Ms. Harf’s statement.
Some of the Russian military’s air defense systems in Ukraine have been moved closer to the front lines, her statement noted. The Russian military and separatists have also kept substantial communications and other “command and control” equipment in eastern Ukraine that would be needed to organize an attack.
In addition, the Russian military has been providing extensive training for separatists in eastern Ukraine. Western officials said such training might indicate that the Russian military was looking to play a less obvious role and avoid a possible expansion of sanctions should hostilities resume.
The use of Russian reconnaissance drones in the training exercises “leaves no doubt that Russia is involved in the training,” Ms. Harf’s statement said.
“Combined Russian-separatist forces maintain a sizable number of artillery pieces and multiple rocket launchers within areas prohibited under the Minsk accords,” Ms. Harf’s statement said. “Russia has continued to ship heavy weapons into eastern Ukraine.”
