CTV News: 'The International Committee of the Red Cross is asking Canada not to mix promises of humanitarian aid in with announcements about military support and sanctions when it comes to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
'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. "When you communicate publicly, don't lump humanitarian action together with the rest of the support for political reasons that you offer to Ukraine," Stillhart said in an interview on Sunday.'
