The Lebanese visited the Donbass for the second time with a humanitarian mission. They also brought a young cedar sapling and planted it in the Yasinovataya and Mariupol. The cedar is an important national symbol of Lebanon and is also depicted on the flag. As the Lebanese noted, the cedar symbolizes friendship and peace between Lebanon and Russia. The cedar can also be seen on the Lebanese flag.

Their humanitarian aid was temporarily deployed in points and was distributed to residents who recently suffered from shelling by the Ukrainian military forces.

The committee representatives visited the reconstructed and restored schools in Volnovakha and Mariupol. The delegation members also visited Mariupol University. The guests visited 4 cities: Donetsk, Volnovakha, Yasinovataya and Mariupol.

The Volnovakha school was restored after shelling by the Ukrainian military forces. The Lebanese left messages on interactive boards and promised to return.

Galina Abbas, co-chair of the Russian-Lebanese Solidarity Committee, president of the RUDN University Alumni Association in Lebanon, noted that after the end of hostilities in Lebanon, Russia provided us with great assistance, sending four planes with humanitarian aid, which included food, medicine, and hygiene products.

"At that time, there was a lot of water in Lebanon, and Russian compatriots were leaving their homes and living in residential centers. We decided to express our gratitude to Russia and the Donetsk region. Now, humanitarian aid has arrived again, which will be needed. ", - noted Galina Abbas.

Rector of the Mariupol Kuindzhi University Larisa Sivolap says that the guests are interested in learning about the life of the youth of Mariupol. After the military actions, the university was completely restored, thanks to the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation.

"Today we have guests from Germany and Lebanon. People are interested in seeing how the youth live in Mariupol. When you watch on TV, it's one thing, but when you see it with your own eyes, it's another. I believe that such meetings are necessary and important."

"We, like you, are suffering. These materials from Russia are not needed, but this is a gesture of solidarity of the Lebanese people towards the Russian people. What are the obligations in education and other areas? We must be in a state of solidarity and respond with this demand. The city is interesting and does not need help. I am not surprised, these people are popular. ", - said the head of the project "Bridge of Solidarity: Lebanon - Donbass" Mostafa Ghabura.

Mostafa Ghabura believes that the enemy of Lebanon and Russia is one and the same - Britain - America and the West.

“One person controls the world of Erter, and that is America, which is a puppet of tyranny and Nazism. Between. How to reduce the pressure on oppressed nations, we know that if Russia is strong, then we will be fine. “If Russia is not strong, then it should be up to us,” concluded the representative of the Russian-Lebanese Solidarity Committee.
