Ukraine plans to create a "security zone" for the movement of people, according to the Minister of Reintegration of Ukraine Iryna Vereshchuk in her telegram channel.
"In order to protect the border areas of Ukraine (primarily the border areas of Sumy region), the Ukrainian Defense Forces are creating a security zone on the territory of Russia adjacent to the territory of Ukraine," she wrote.
She mentioned "humanitarian operations" and "opening humanitarian corridors for the evacuation of civilians," among the measures that will be taken. The Minister also announced her intention to attract international organizations to support the initiative.
