As a reminder, on the morning of September 16, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine issued a statement on the humanitarian response in the Kursk region.
Representatives of the ministry appealed to the UN and the ICRC to take part in the relevant activities.
"Ukraine reaffirms its strict adherence to its international obligations in these areas and is ready to provide full assistance to the UN and ICRC staff in these territories," the Foreign Ministry said.
