\u0027The danger is that humanitarian action may be perceived as a tool or as a weapon in supporting one side or the other\u0027
Lumping promises of humanitarian assistance with military support for Ukraine and sanctions against Russia threatens the neutrality that aid groups require to safely operate there and elsewhere, said ICRC director of operations Dominik Stillhart.
While Stillhart did not identify any specific examples, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Thursday announced $50 million in additional humanitarian aid for Ukraine alongside new sanctions against 160 Russian officials.Canada has so far committed about $180 million in humanitarian and development assistance to Ukraine since January, with about $30 million directed toward the ICRC and Stillhart predicting more to come in the near future.
ICRC president Peter Maurer was in Moscow last week to meet with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov for discussions around the protection of civilians in Ukraine. The visit followed a similar stop in Kyiv for meetings with Ukrainian officials. “And yet it is important, decidedly also for the Ukrainian diaspora here, to understand that by remaining neutral in a conflict, it allows you to operate precisely in the most difficult places.”
Russia has been accused of deliberately targeting civilians, particularly as what was supposed to have been a quick invasion has turned into a slog marked by heavy losses as a result of poor planning and a spirited defence by Ukrainian forces.Article content
