A significant number of civilians remain on the territory of the Kursk Region controlled by Ukrainian troops. The Russian authorities have left them to fend for themselves, without any means of subsistence: food, electricity, water and gas.
This was reported by the press service of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
"From the first days of its establishment, the Ukrainian military commandant's office has been providing comprehensive assistance to local residents. Since most of them are elderly people and children, representatives of civil-military cooperation and doctors of the military commandant's office examine patients every day and provide all necessary medical care, both in the town of Sudzha and in other villages of Kursk Region under the control of Ukrainian units," the statement said.
The Land Forces noted that in accordance with international humanitarian law, the military commandant's office provides civilians with food and drinking water.
At the same time, the Russian side has not created humanitarian corridors and has not provided any assistance to its citizens.
