No humanitarian corridors in Ukraine on Wednesday due to lack of security, according to kyiv

Ukraine will not open any humanitarian corridor on Wednesday, said a government official who accused the Russians of “violating the norms of international law”, which makes the situation “dangerous”.

“Unfortunately we will not open humanitarian corridors today. In the Zaporizhia region (south), the occupants have blocked buses and in the Lugansk region (east) they violate the ceasefire,” Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said on Telegram.

“The occupiers not only do not respect the norms of international humanitarian law, but they cannot properly control their men on the ground either. All this creates such a high level of danger on the routes that we are obliged to refrain from opening humanitarian corridors today.” “, he continued.

Ukraine systematically accuses Russia of not respecting ceasefires in humanitarian corridors, although it is rare for the authorities to renounce them completely. The last suspension of all evacuation dates back to March 28.

Local officials in eastern Ukraine have called on the population to leave in the face of an imminent Russian offensive in that part of the country.
