Kyiv invites international organizations to Kursk amid ongoing military action.
Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs appealed to the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross to participate in humanitarian response efforts in parts of Russia’s Kursk Oblast, currently under Ukrainian military control.
The ministry emphasized that Ukraine adheres to all norms and principles of international humanitarian law and human rights while exercising effective control over certain areas of Russia’s Kursk Oblast. This includes protecting civilians during hostilities.
According to the ministry, civilians in Kursk Oblast’s affected areas have been receiving humanitarian aid and assistance in evacuating from combat zones.
The ministry states that the appeal to the UN and Red Cross aims to address “the humanitarian situation and the need to properly ensure fundamental human rights” in the region.
On 6 August, Ukraine began its operation in Russia’s Kursk Oblast. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that these operations were intended to create a buffer zone to impede Russian military actions against Ukraine.
On 27 August, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrskyi said that since the beginning of the operation in Russia’s Kursk Oblast, Ukraine had captured 594 Russian soldiers and controls over 100 settlements or 1,294 sq km.
On 15 September, the Institute for the Study of War reported that Ukrainian troops continued to advance in the Glushkovsky district of the Kursk Oblast on 14 September: they advanced in the fields south of Tyotkino and north of Sudzha and took control of several villages.
