UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he had proposed that a UN-Russia-Ukraine contact group be set up to address humanitarian matters in Ukraine.
There is need for safe and effective humanitarian corridors to be honored by everyone and to ensure the evacuation of civilians and the delivery of aid, Guterres said at a press conference, following negotiations with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
Guterres said he had therefore proposed the establishment of a UN-Russia-Ukraine humanitarian contact group to search for opportunities and to open safe corridors the efficiency of which would be ensured by local ceasefires.
