According to Vereschuk: "We have evacuated more than 60,000 people from Sumy, Trostyanets, and Krasnopillya to Poltava over the last two days.

We managed to evacuate around 3,000 people from the city of Izyum to the city of Lozova in the Kharkiv region. Aid was delivered to Izyum: medication, food, and water. Over 100 tonnes. […]

Over the last day, around 20,000 people were evacuated from the towns of Bucha, Hostomel, Irpin, and Vorzel in the Kyiv region.

More than 100 tonnes of aid was also delivered to Enerhodar. […]

Our greatest sorrow, which I cannot remain silent about – I will speak of it every minute, addressing the whole world. Help Mariupol. There is a real humanitarian disaster there.

Once again we were not able to deliver even humanitarian aid there. People who have been under constant fire for many days now could not receive water, food, or medications."

Details: According to Vereschuk, it has been, unfortunately, impossible to organise a humanitarian corridor from Vorzel to date.

She called on world leaders and citizens to contribute in whatever way possible to the organisation of humanitarian corridors in Ukraine.
