Ukraine is ready to open humanitarian corridor in Kursk region if Russia asks for it - media
Ukraine is ready to open a humanitarian corridor for the evacuation of Russian civilians in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation if Moscow requests it.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to Le Monde.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy told Agence France-Presse that Kyiv is ready to open a humanitarian corridor for the evacuation of hundreds of Russian civilians living in the territories of the Kursk region, which are now controlled by the Ukrainian military, if Russia makes such a request.
The newspaper writes that more than 1,500 Russian civilians currently live in the areas of the Kursk region under the control of the Ukrainian armed forces.
"The families (of the Russians - ed.) are increasingly angry with the Russian authorities due to the loss of contact with their loved ones who are incommunicado on the other side of the front line," the article says.
Kyiv's proposal came after Russia said it had repelled a new offensive by Ukrainian troops in the region, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy congratulated his soldiers, who have been controlling large swaths of Russian territory for six months, Le Monde adds.
