The Kremlin said it had not seen the request for a humanitarian corridor in Sudzha
Residents of the Sudzhansky District of the Kursk Region have appealed to the Russian and Ukrainian authorities with a request to open a humanitarian corridor. The Russian leader’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov, commenting on this information, said that the Kremlin had not seen such appeals.
To be honest, this is the first time I’ve heard about this. How is it? [обращение] was it sent? We didn’t see, unfortunately, we didn’t receive anything about it
The list attached to the appeal contains the names of 186 people.
Kommersant previously wrote about the request of relatives of citizens in the territory controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). It was specified that the residents addressed the presidents of Russia and Ukraine, Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky, as well as the Commissioner for Human Rights in Russia, Tatyana Moskalkova, the Ukrainian ombudsman Dmitry Lubinets and the International Committee of the Red Cross. The appeal was signed by 88 residents of the Sudzhansky district. They attached a list of their relatives to it – a total of 186 people, seven of whom are minors.
The authors of the letter admit that the number of citizens is significantly higher. They are mainly talking about elderly people who did not have time to leave. One of the authors of the letter, priest Sergiy Televinov, reported that he has elderly parents and a sister left in Sudzha. There has been no contact with them since August 6.
Some saw their own in photographs and in reports of foreign media, some managed to call through Ukrainian operators, but this is always a conversation for seconds
Those who wrote the appeal fear that if the Ukrainian Armed Forces “decide to defend themselves in the city, the chances of survival for civilians are minimal,” and Ukrainian soldiers could use their relatives as human shields.
