Ukrainian official says Russian troops have raided convoys filled with humanitarian aid: report

Fourteen tons of humanitarian aid bound for Melitopol, a city in southern Ukraine, have been intercepted by Russian forces, said a Ukrainian official on Thursday.

Iryna Vereshchuk, the Ukrainian minister of reintegration of temporarily occupied territories, said that buses carrying humanitarian aid to Melitopol had been stopped and the aid confiscated, per CNN,

According to Vereshchuk, the aid was loaded on 12 buses filled with food and medication.

"We are negotiating for the buses to be returned and for the Melitopol residents tomorrow to evacuate using these buses," she said.

Some oligarch probably took the money that was supposed to go to the Russian soldiers' rations and bought a new yacht with it.
