What specifically is the help Russia/Putin offered? No I have not read the entire thread, but am curious if this is a general condolence or a specific offer.

"[...]An adviser to the Russian emergency situations minister, Viktor Beltsov has said two Ilyushin-76TD transport planes are ready to leave the Ramenskoye airdrome any time. They carry rescue workers, light helicopters and other equipment essential to effective operation in disaster areas."

In a couple of other places I have read Russia is now sending 3 transport planes filled with aid.
