    He added that the situation in the Donbas region was normalizing.

    "The infrastructure is improving, the work of economy structures is being restored. This is a very difficult mission," Puchkov added.

    Ukraine's southeast has been severely affected by Kiev’s special military operation, launched in April 2014. The operation was a response to local residents' refusal to recognize the new coup-installed government in the country.

    Overall, Russia has sent more than 59,000 tons of humanitarian aid to Donbas since August 2014.
