KIEV, June 26 – The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) proposes creating "security zones" around a number of water supply infrastructure facilities in Donbas, but the lack of trust between the parties to the conflict in eastern Ukraine hampers the implementation of this initiative.

The only way to avoid an environmental disaster in Donbas is to ensure the safe functioning of pumping stations and the integrity of pipelines, head of the ICRC Delegation in Ukraine Alain Aeschlimann said in an interview with the Dzerkalo Tyzhnia (ZN.UA) newspaper.
