The Russian occupiers in Kherson region have not approved the creation of a "green corridor" for the supply of humanitarian aid to the region, Head of the Kherson regional military administration Hennadiy Lahuta has said.

"I was just informed that the occupiers did not give the go-ahead to the "green corridor" for the supply of humanitarian aid to Kherson region. The Ukrainian authorities formed 19 trucks to provide the needs of Kherson and the region with the most necessary. And now the Russians say that they themselves will provide humanitarian aid," Lahuta wrote in Telegram on Friday.

He promised to continue to demand from the occupiers the possibility of transporting Ukrainian humanitarian aid.

"I also thank Kherson Mayor Ihor Kolykhaev for the efforts he is making to meet the needs of the city's residents," Lahuta said.

At the same time, Kolykhaev himself said that the agreement on the "green corridor" at the highest level was reached yesterday.

"Right now, trucks with food and humanitarian aid from friends of our city could enter the city. But Kherson is in the ring and our trucks are not allowed through. Despite yesterday's agreements at the highest level, in practice, "below" all this is not working. But, apparently, the "good liberators" are preparing to bring their "salvation" to Kherson. First, they brought the situation to a critical point, and then they will heroically save us so that you all thank the "benefactors" on camera," Kolykhaev wrote on Facebook on Friday.

He also said that mobile communication in the city does not work, and the local television center has been seized.

"I give you my word: I do what I can. But I don't know how long it will take. Please: think, stay human, help each other. Kherson is Ukraine," the Kherson mayor said.
