mmm... I googled that piece of news about Red Cross opening an office in Russia, and yes their approach does seem kind of odd, to create a safe passage via Russia. Why not create the safe passage in other parts of the country where Ukrainians can escape to safer countries? The only reason I can think of is maybe there are people still trapped in Donbas and genuinely need support. www.euractiv.com even went as far as saying the ICRC sided with Russia!. However, none of the other mainstream news channels have reported it that way.
