The UN responded to the situation in Oleshki and the possibility of a humanitarian corridor

“Pryamoy” special correspondent Maria Glyten raised the issue of the humanitarian situation in Oleshki at the UN. UN Secretary-General’s spokesman Stephane Dujarric said that the organization is trying to reach people in the frontline and most affected areas.

This is reported by “Pryamiy” .

Maria Gliten asked Dujarric whether the UN plans to help provide a humanitarian corridor for civilians amid the worsening situation, food shortages, and lack of cooperation from Russia.

The spokesperson said UN teams on the ground were doing everything they could to help people. The organization was also working to ensure the security of humanitarian convoys, as UN, partner and Red Cross convoys had already come under fire.

The UN stressed that they will continue to try to help people who remain in their homes despite the difficult humanitarian situation.

Let us recall that a humanitarian catastrophe is ongoing in the temporarily occupied Oleshki in the Kherson region. About two thousand people remain in the city itself, who have critical problems with access to food and medicine , while the possibility of leaving is effectively blocked.

As reported, after negotiations, the Russian side has not confirmed its readiness to conduct a humanitarian mission to evacuate civilians from temporarily occupied Olesho k. for a long time. The situation has reached the point where some people are trying to get out of the city on their own through minefields.

Later, Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga stated that Russia was creating a humanitarian blockade on the temporarily occupied left-bank Kherson region . The most difficult situation, he said, was in Oleshki, where about 2,000 people were left without electricity, gas, and regular supplies of food and medicine.
