Ministry of Reintegration: Almost 300,000 civilians evacuated through humanitarian corridors

The Ministry for the Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories says that almost 300,000 civilians have already been evacuated through humanitarian corridors.

"During the war, Ukrainian government proposed more than 340 humanitarian corridors. The occupiers agreed on about 300, in fact, 176 happened. The reason is the enemy’s regular violations of the silence regime, as well as the delay and seizure of evacuation buses, humanitarian cargo," the ministry’s press service said.

The Ministry of Reintegration notes that in Donbas - due to intensive shelling - humanitarian corridors did not work.

"The occupiers refused to open them from Mariupol, including from the Azovstal plant: for women, children and other civilians, despite yesterday's appeal from the Ukrainian authorities," the report says.

At the same time, the department noted that work on the opening of humanitarian corridors does not stop, in particular, negotiations are underway to open them in Kherson and Kharkiv regions.
