Dmytro Kuleba called for unblocking humanitarian corridors during talks with Serhiy Lavrov

During talks with russia’s Foreign Minister Serhiy Lavrov, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba called for the unblocking of humanitarian corridors for the evacuation of civilians from Mariupol and the delivery of humanitarian aid to the besieged city. He also called for a 24-hour ceasefire to address the most critical humanitarian issues.

Dmytro Kuleba stressed that Minister Lavrov was not authorized to provide guarantees on

both issues, but should pass the request of the Ukrainian side to the military command and colleagues in the russian government.

"I heard from the russian party today that they link the ceasefire to putin's demands on Ukraine. Ukraine has not surrendered and will never give up. We are ready for diplomatic decisions, but while they are not there, we will prolong to selflessly defend our land from Russian aggression", the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine emphasized
