Kremlin’s reaction to Ukraine’s offer for UN/ICRC to join humanitarian efforts in Kursk region shows Russia’s disregard for its own people – MFA spokesperson
The Kremlin's reaction to Ukraine's offer to join the humanitarian efforts of the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross in Kursk region indicates Russia's disregard for its own people and their humanitarian needs, said spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Heorhii Tykhyi.
“The Kremlin’s reaction to Ukraine’s offer for the UN and ICRC to join humanitarian efforts in the Kursk region shows Russia’s disregard for its own people and their humanitarian needs, as well as fear of allowing international observers to see the real situation. Quite telling,” Tykhyi said on X Monday.
Earlier on Monday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine appealed to the United Nations (UN) and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to join the humanitarian response measures in the areas of Kursk region that are under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
According to Russian media, Dmitry Peskov called Ukraine's invitation of representatives of the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross to visit the territories of Kursk region of the Russian Federation, which are now controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a provocation.
