Humanitarian corridor reopens on Ukraine-Russia border in Sumy region

A humanitarian corridor has resumed operation in the Sumy region at the border checkpoint Kolotilovka (Russia)-Pokrovka (Ukraine).

The relevant statement was made by the Ukrainian Temporarily Occupied Territories Reintegration Ministry on Telegram, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“Ukrainians, evacuating from the temporarily occupied areas, can return to the Ukrainian-controlled territory via the checkpoint Kolotilovka (Russia)-Pokrovka (Ukraine). Starting from yesterday, the checkpoint on the border between the Belgorod region and the Sumy region resumed operation,” the report states.

A humanitarian center was set up at the Ukrainian border, where all Ukrainians can receive free psychological, legal and humanitarian aid, as well as stay overnight and get to the city of Sumy or any other place.

The ministry mentioned that those willing to evacuate from the Sumy region can use the Sumy-Kyiv evacuation train running on a daily basis. Kyiv Regional Military Administration will offer such people accommodation in a modular town in the Vyshhorod district.
