Kyiv Manages to Evacuate Civilians by 9 Humanitarian Corridors

Ukrainian Reintegration Minister Iryna Vereshchuk announced that Kyiv authorities were able to evacuate civilians from the area of military operations through 9 out of 14 corridors.

"Based on the results of the open corridors, only 9 out of 14 crossings are working successfully," she said in a press.

In a statement last week, the Russian Defense Ministry announced a pacification regime from 10 am and the opening of humanitarian corridors from Kyiv, Mariupol', Kharkiv, and Sumy, as the request of French President Emmanuel Macron of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The Ministry called on the Ukrainian side to "open the humanitarian corridors and ensure the evacuation of civilians and foreign citizens. Kyiv's attempts to accuse Russia non-compliance and thwarting humanitarian operation this time will be futile, and we will monitor the progress of the humanitarian operation will be pursued with the help of drones."

"Information about humanitarian corridors in Ukraine is transmitted to the professional structures of the United Nations, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the International Committee of the Red Cross and other international organizations," the Ministry stated.
