MOSCOW Russia is ready to assist the United States in dealing with the damage caused by hurricane Katrina, which has taken 68 lives so far and left behind a tremendous amount of devastation, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a message to U.S. President George Bush Tuesday.
"Russia deeply sympathizes with Americans, who faced a disaster of such a colossal scale, and is ready to offer necessary assistance," Putin said.
Putin asked Bush to extend his condolences to families and relatives of those killed in the disaster.
"Accept my sincere words of regret in connection with the natural calamity in the USA. I know that hurricane Katrina, which swept the southeast coast of the country, resulted in deaths, left tens of thousands of Americans without roofs over their heads, and caused substantial damage to the region's economy," the message said. /RIA Novosti/
Three giant transports filled with rescue helicoptors, tents, generators and search and rescue teams.
Thank you for the information.
Its sad to note that a russian helicopter has crashed in NO.
"Care to provide evidence of his mass murdering?"
What's there to provide? He is a former KGB agent. Are you really this stupid or does the Russian government pay you that well?
BTW, no time to get distracted into much debate with a paid propagandist for putin, as you are infamous even beyond FR:
In fact, JB6 is infamous as a pro-putin propagandist. From a ukranian forum:

Maybe some of you should take a look on the Free Republic forum. One of the faithful servants of Kremlin painting your nation as a bunch of neo-Nazis and commies by posting everyday few anti-Ukrainian articles. This is big conservative forum and there is no your compatriots there, so partly his propaganda may be effective.
His username is "jb6"
That repoprt on local Fox was later denied - itwas the private copter that went down.
Not Russia, but Stalins regime in USSR!
Regards to Saakashvili!

What is lie here? Stalin was Georgian? Beria was Georgian? Dzherzhinsky was Pole? Most participants of Lenin's goverment were Jews?
So what the problem with Russians?
By the way do you know determination of genocide?
And about Yuschenko, there are many versions whats happing- rooting cells, poison, skin diseases e.t.c. But nobody says that FSB tried to kill him.
Actually,
Ministry of Emergency of Russia is the best russian ministry.
They realy work in Russia as much as they can.
They have (like Emergency Kit) about 3-4 aircrafts ready to take off ASAP from Ramenskoe (near Moscow), loaded by aids, blankets, water desalters, tents,.... even 1 portable helicopter for rescue team.
Aircrafts are Ilyushin-76TD with red stripe:

These aircrafts will help to anyone who realy need it.
It is right, American government approved 3 IL-76TD from 4 offered. They refused Il-62 with rescue team.
One more from history:
Just statistics. When Gorbachev became Russian leader in 1985 there were ~20 000 000 communists in the USSR.
It was ~13% of all Russian people.
95% of russian communists became members just because
membership has such benefits like better salary, better
career, free vacation tickets, good health care for family
and of course free own apartments. They were so far from
communist ideology. Last one who realy believed to it was
Lenin, but he died in 1924. Others just played own games.
