Syria's authorities have confirmed that Russia's humanitarian aid was successfully delivered to the Syrian cities blocked by terrorists, Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman Igor Konashenkov said on Friday.

"We have clear confirmation that all the platforms [with humanitarian aid] have been received by the local [Syrian] authorities 'on the ground' in the blocked cities," he said.

"They have confirmed this fact and, indeed, humanitarian aid is being distributed among people in need," he added.

Earlier, the Russian defense ministry said that more than 50 tons of relief aid had been delivered from Russia to Syria since January 15.
