Ukraine feels need to increase supply of humanitarian aid – Stefanishyna

Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Olha Stefanishyna says the volume and speed of delivery of humanitarian aid must match the challenges facing Ukraine.
According to the press service of the Deputy Prime Minister, Stefanishyna, during an online UN briefing on humanitarian response to the crisis caused by Russian armed aggression, thanked all countries and international organizations that promptly provided Ukraine with the necessary assistance, and noted that the government has full information about the humanitarian needs of the Ukrainian regions.
"Comprehensive coordination with the government on the provision of humanitarian assistance is important so that the right assistance reaches the regions that need it most. At the same time, we feel the need to increase such supplies. The volume and speed of delivery of humanitarian aid must correspond to the challenges facing Ukraine," the press service quoted Stefanishyna as saying.
She also noted the importance of the efforts made by international organizations to facilitate negotiations with Russia on the creation of humanitarian corridors, but stressed that the delivery of aid to the most critical areas is blocked.
"Russia continues to violate the agreements reached. We call on the international community to increase pressure on Russia to fulfill its obligations as soon as possible. Today, more than 80 settlements are in need of help, and some have actually been destroyed by Russian troops," Stefanishyna said.
