Serhiy Shkarlet: Ukraine needs to create humanitarian corridors for international organizations
Ukraine needs the support of humanitarian corridors of international organizations in Sumy, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhia, Luhansk and Kherson regions for evacuation of civilians and, first of all, children! Statements by Minister of Education and Science Serhiy Shkarlet.
According to him, the Russian invasion caused the biggest humanitarian catastrophe in Europe since World War II. Enemy troops are open to replace constant missile, bomb, and artillery strikes on peaceful cities, housing infrastructure, and educational institutions.
“Russia has put millions of Ukrainian citizens – especially women, children and the elderly – on the brink of extinction. The enemy does not distinguish between military and civilian objects – it strikes with jet artillery and missiles, destroying kindergartens, schools, schools and universities.
Ukraine has already appealed to international organizations that have a mandate to create “green corridors” for the population to withdraw from the war zone. Have international organizations de facto joined Russia’s tactics of war against Ukraine? If so, the world should know that the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and the Red Cross can no longer be relied upon. We sincerely believe that we will be heard and tens of thousands of lives will be saved! ” said the Minister.
