Russia is ready to treat Lebanese victims during the war

Russia "is ready to accept Lebanon, who suffered during the Lebanon-Israeli conflict for the treatment of civilians." This was stated in Stockholm by the Deputy Head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Alexander Saltanov at the International Conference on Humanitarian Assistance Lebanon.

According to him, "the administration of the Kemerovo region came up with the initiative to accept 100 Lebanese children in the Kuzbass in the war zone." “Other forms of assisting Livan and the provision of funds for these purposes are considered,” the Russian diplomat emphasized. “In particular, this will be discussed during the upcoming visit to the Berut Foreign Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs next week.”

"Sergei Lavrov will discuss with the leadership of Lebanon, which Russia could help this country, which became the main victim of the current exacerbation of the Arab -Israeli conflict," said Saltanov.

He recalled that Lebanon, who, as a result of a conflict that erupted in July on the verge of a humanitarian catastrophe, “acutely needed help in those days when Israeli bombs and missiles were torn in Beirut, Dash, Baalbek,” ITAR-TASS reports.

Speaking to the UN call, Russia from August 9 carried out a humanitarian operation to assist Lebanon with a total value of about $ 1.75 million. "4 aircraft of the Russian Ministry of Emergencies were delivered to Cyprus by the humanitarian cargo, which was then taken to Lebanon with the help of UN structures," said Deputy Minister.
