Moscow - Russia demands that Ukraine open humanitarian corridors in the southeastern part of the country, where armed hostilities are under way between Ukrainian government forces and the local 'militia', Russian presidential chief of staff Sergei Ivanov said.
“Russia will demand that Ukraine open humanitarian corridors, which it promised to do,” Ivanov told journalists on Thursday, June 12.
Despite the lack of such corridors, “people are still managing to cross the border, and we are naturally providing them with assistance in accommodation,” Ivanov said.
“It’s very pleasing to me that our people are taking refugees in to their homes, and they are doing this selflessly,” which shows that warm relations between Russians and Ukrainians still exist, Ivanov said.
“It looks like the same genetic code plays the role,” he said.
