"Meanwhile, our military and the Emergencies Ministry are sending humanitarian aid and mobile hospitals. These hospitals with physicians, necessary drugs and equipment are being deployed in the east of Aleppo. So instead of whining about the fact that the residents of eastern Aleppo cannot get help we are engaged in concrete actions. We hope that international organizations, including the United Nations, will follow our example," he said.
Lavrov pointed out that terrorists tried to prevent civilians from fleeing militant-controlled parts of Aleppo but Russia helped the Syrian government forces conquer this attempts.
On Tuesday, the Russian Defense Ministry said that the Syrian government forces had cleared almost half of eastern Aleppo from militant strongholds, liberating tens of thousands local residents.
On Wednesday, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said the United States, France and the United Nations have failed to offer aid to 90,000 Aleppo residents liberated from militants.
