Reuters. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Wednesday (August 14) he held a meeting on the security and humanitarian situation in Russia's Kursk region where the Ukrainian military has been advancing in an unprecedented cross-border assault.
"Security, humanitarian aid, creation of military administrations if necessary," he said on Telegram, posting a video of the meeting with Kyiv's top officials.
Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said after the meeting Ukraine was creating a "security zone" in Russia's Kursk region and plans to organise humanitarian assistance and evacuation corridors for civilians looking to go either to Russia or to Ukraine.
She added on Telegram that Ukraine planned to organise access to the area for international humanitarian organisations as well.
