MOSCOW, October 10. /TASS/. The humanitarian crisis in Alyoshki was caused by a blockade deliberately imposed by the Ukrainian armed forces, and Russia will do everything possible to save residents, Russian Human Rights Commissioner Yana Lantratova said.

"The main cause of the humanitarian crisis is the blockade deliberately imposed by the Ukrainian armed forces. Ukrainian drones constantly hovering over roads and remotely planted mines on highways and footpaths are preventing aid deliveries," Lantratova wrote on her Max channel, assuring that Russia would do everything possible to save civilians.

"To save civilians, the Ukrainian blockade of Alyoshki must be lifted. People remain cut off from supplies of food, water and medicine. They are elderly people, women and children. We are in contact with the US side and Melania Trump’s team regarding this grave situation," Lantratova wrote on Max.

She noted that the US first lady had expressed readiness to help the city.
