Humanitarian aid for DPR will be provided definitely - Peskov

Russia is sure to provide humanitarian aid for the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, Russian President's Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said.

"Humanitarian aid will be definitely provided to them. I cannot say anything about the military, you have to ask the military, but we will certainly provide humanitarian aid," Peskov was quoted by the Russian News Service radio on Thursday.

A day earlier the head of the DPR Supreme Council Denis Pushilin sent a request to Russia, asking to provide the self-proclaimed republic with "any accessible aid."
