The issue of aid deliveries to eastern Ukraine has been a point of contention between the involved parties. There is a clear stance on how these should proceed: "continued deliveries that are in violation of the sovereignty of Ukraine are not helpful," though it is acknowledged that "the willingness to make contributions is certainly something that should be welcomed in general."
It has been suggested that the Humanitarian Working Group should be encouraged "to work out a way so that the ICRC can facilitate deliveries of assistance as soon as possible in line with international standards as it has been agreed."
