Spokesman Igor
Konashenkov said aid packages could be delivered and stored at
its naval base in the Syrian port of Tartus and transport planes
carrying aid could land at its air base in Latakia.
He told a briefing shown on Russian state television that Russia
was also ready to provide vehicles to deliver aid from its bases
to areas in need.
On March 2, the ministry prepared a list of areas where it
believed the aid was needed urgently and sent it to the United
Nations.
The ministry said the cessation of hostilities in Syria was
broadly holding despite what it described as some provocations
and shootings.
