No humanitarian corridors in Luhansk region on Tuesday, problems with Mariupol – Vereschuk

There are no humanitarian corridors in Luhansk region on Tuesday, the problem with the "green corridor" in Mariupol remains unresolved, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine Iryna Vereschuk said.

"Today we do not have corridors in Luhansk region, but previously they worked for two days and worked well. However, there remains a huge problem with Mariupol. Our humanitarian convoy cannot get from Berdiansk to Mariupol," Vereschuk said at a briefing on Tuesday.

According to her, the humanitarian convoy vehicles cannot overcome the 84 km separating Berdiansk from Mariupol for the fourth day.

Vereschuk stressed that several cars with people left Mariupol on Tuesday, but this "will not save the situation." According to her, there are 300,000 people in Mariupol who do not have private transport.

The Deputy Prime Minister also said that it was not possible to evacuate residents from the city of Ivankiv, Kyiv region. "It's impossible to do it now. People are asking and we know it. We demand to open corridors there," Vereschuk said.

Also, according to her, the evacuation of the civilian population from the side of the city of Brovary, Kyiv region, is not working well. "Today, the Brovary direction is also working very poorly. To some extent, somewhere a little bit of 10-20 buses are sent, but this is not work," she said.

Vereschuk noted that the Russian side is "cynically lying", does not fulfill the agreements and does not ensure the ceasefire necessary for humanitarian corridors.

As reported, as of 14:00 on Tuesday, 2,000 cars left Mariupol in the direction of Zaporizhia for evacuation, another 2,000 are on the outskirts of the city, Mariupol City Council informed.
