After the incursion, Ukraine opened a 24/7 hotline for the residents of Russia’s Kursk Oblast who need humanitarian aid or want to evacuate to Ukraine
Iryna Vereshchuk, Deputy Prime Minister for Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine, on social media:
Due to the possible deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the adjacent territories of Kursk Oblast of the Russian Federation, Ukraine should be prepared to accept Russian refugees.
Therefore, Ukraine’s Ministry of Reintegration opened a 24/7 hotline for the residents of Kursk Oblast who need humanitarian aid or want to evacuate to Ukraine.
Ukraine adheres to all the norms of international law. We will provide the civilians of Kursk Oblast with necessary protection and humanitarian support.
Yeah I mean ignoring the politics of it, people don’t want shells raining down on their heads. So if you’re Russian., the logical move is to go eastwards deeper into Russia. Of course it’s doubtful many of them sympathize with Ukraine in the first place.
