Over the past six days, almost 3,000 trucks have crossed the Ukrainian border, bringing in 20,000 tonnes of humanitarian aid, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said.

"On behalf of the government, I want to thank our partners, all the people who are helping Ukraine today. Over the past six days, almost 3,000 trucks have crossed the Ukrainian border, bringing in 20,000 tonnes of humanitarian aid. These are mainly food, clothing, medicines and medical supplies that the government is already sending to the regions," Shmyhal said in an address on Tuesday afternoon.
