Ministry for Reintegration of the Temporary Occupied Territories: Almost 300,000 civilians have already been evacuated through humanitarian corridors

During the war, the Ukrainian Government has offered more than 340 humanitarian corridors. The occupiers agreed on about 300, in fact there were provided 176. The reason is regular violations of the regime of silence by the enemy, as well as - the seizure of evacuation buses, humanitarian aid and more.

In Donbass - due to intense shelling - humanitarian corridors have not worked. The occupiers also refused to open them from Mariupol, including from the Azovstal plant: for women, children and other civilians, despite the recent appeal from the Ukrainian authorities.

The occupiers continue to hold the Ukrainian population hostage, and everyone involved will be held fully accountable for this war crime.

However, work on agreeing and opening of humanitarian corridors does not stop. The Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Iryna Vereshchuk has announced, negotiations on their opening in Kherson and Kharkiv regions are underway.
