Rinat Akmetov's foundation is the largest source of aid for the separatist-controlled territory in east Ukraine
The biggest supplier of aid to rebel-controlled eastern Ukraine says its mission could fold in two days' time if rebels continue to block its convoys. A charity foundation owned by Ukraine's richest man, Rinat Akmetov, has been the largest source of aid for the separatist-controlled territory while international organizations were having difficulty to deliver any aid across the front line.
