Red Cross didn’t confirm evacuation corridors for March 16 – Vereshchuk

Authorities don't plan evacuation corridors on March 16 because they weren't confirmed by the Red Cross

The head of the Ministry of Reintegration of Temporarily Occupied Territories, Iryna Vereshchuk, informs about it at a briefing, Rubryka reports.

But, according to the minister, routes are being developed to deliver humanitarian aid to cities captured or surrounded by Russia.

"We haven't received a response to our proposals sent to the Red Cross yesterday to open humanitarian corridors on March 16.

The issue of organizing humanitarian corridors from Izium and Mariupol remains open.

In such conditions, we cannot take people out.

We continue to work on developing routes for the delivery of humanitarian aid: products and medicines to captured or surrounded Ukrainian cities.

These are, in particular, cities and towns of Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, and Kherson regions.

All the details and changes in the routes of humanitarian corridors or the opening of new ones will be announced during the day," Vereshchuk said.

Meanwhile, the mayor of Enerhodar Dmytro Orlov said that they want to take people out of the city in their own vehicles.

He noted that at 10.00 on Kurchatova Street the formation of the convoy will begin, at 11.00, departure.

Orlov said that the column would move through Dniprorudne, Skelky, Vasylivka, Orikhiv direction and further to Zaporizhzhia.

All comers from other settlements can join in the course of the column movement.
