We strongly condemn shelling of evacuation areas and call on the Russian Federation to cease such attacks and allow the evacuation teams to safely help the affected civilian population. We also urge the Russian Federation to grant full, safe and unimpeded access to the affected areas of the left bank of the Dnieper River, which are currently under its military control, for humanitarian actors, in particular, those from the United Nations and ICRC to help affected local residents.”
