MOSCOW, March 20. /TASS/. Russian servicemen delivered more than 75 tonnes of humanitarian aid to Kherson, the Russian Defense Ministry told reporters.

"Another humanitarian aid from Russia has been delivered to the city of Kherson (Ukraine) for local residents. Trucks, accompanied by Russian military personnel, brought more than 75 tonnes of humanitarian aid to the regional capital for residents of Kherson and nearby settlements," the Defense Ministry said.

The ministry noted that the Russian military gave food kits to everyone in need, including essential products: cereals, pasta, sugar, canned food, potatoes, fruits and other foodstuffs.

"Currently, stores and food markets are opening in the city of Kherson, but local entrepreneurs sharply inflate prices for essential goods due to a lack of food. Most city residents cannot buy food, given that the government and employers have stopped paying wages and social allowances," the ministry stressed. That is why a lot of residents of Kherson and the Kherson region daily come to the points where they can receive humanitarian aid from Russia, the ministry added.
