This year’s third shipment of humanitarian cargo was sent from Kazan to Lisichansk and Rubezhnoye. Three trucks with food, medicines, construction materials, as well as work wear with a total weight of 65 tons were prepared for residents of cities supported by Tatarstan. Kazan Mayor Ilsur Metshin inspected the shipment of cargo collected by Tatarstan residents and enterprises and staffed by the Good Kazan Foundation.

“Since the beginning of the special military operation, we have shipped fifteen humanitarian convoys with almost 1,500 tons of cargo to the residents of Lisichansk and Rubezhnoye. Previously, these were essential goods, but now construction is underway in cities, life is getting better, residents are starting to return to their homes. At first, we collected mainly only medicines, glass, polyethylene, and now we are sending special construction materials that are necessary for the restoration of cities. Food and medicines are still part of the cargo, but the list of necessary goods is changing,”- the head of the city said.

In a conversation with the Mayor, truck drivers noted that Lisichansk and Rubezhnoye have really transformed recently thanks to the support provided by Kazan and Tatarstan. According to them, residents are not only renovating their homes, but also helping to build up urban facilities. Ilsur Metshin wished the truckers a safe trip.

Now residents of Lisichansk and Rubezhnoye are in particular need of building materials and components to ensure the smooth operation of urban facilities, electricity and water supply networks, and heating. Thus, steel and polypropylene pipes, building mixes, radiators, electrodes were sent for the repair of utilities, and roofing materials and sheet material were used for the restoration of urban facilities.

Food products (canned meat, groceries, sweets, cereals), household chemicals and work wear will also be delivered to the Luhansk People's Republic. The Council of Veterans of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tatarstan collected a batch of medicines weighing 126 kg (antibiotics, painkillers, antipyretics).

Residents and enterprises of Kazan traditionally took part in the collecting of the humanitarian convoy. In total, since the beginning of the special military operation, ANO Good Kazan and the Kazan Executive Committee have sent 1,483 tons of cargo on 78 trucks to the Luhansk People’s Republic. The last shipment was in May – special assistance was collected for the fighters from Tatarstan.
