Details: Vereshchuk chaired a meeting on bringing back Ukrainian citizens through the Makrany (Belarus) – Domanove (Ukraine) corridor.

Almost 6,000 people, including over 1,000 children, have crossed this humanitarian corridor to enter Ukraine since 24 February 2022.

A volunteer centre run by the community-based organisation Pluriton provides assistance at the border. People receive food, the opportunity to warm up, spend the night, etc. Bus routes have also been launched.

Vereshchuk noted that options for arranging temporary accommodation for people coming through the humanitarian corridor are currently under consideration.

"We need to combine our efforts to cover all the needs. First and foremost, we must resolve the issue of payments and temporary accommodation arrangements," she concluded.

Background: Earlier, Vereshchuk reported that two humanitarian corridors are operating in Sumy and Volyn oblasts, through which Ukrainian citizens can enter Ukraine.
