The Russian authorities have refused to allow UN representatives to enter the Russian-controlled areas in Ukraine’s Kherson region that were flooded after the destruction of the Kakhovka dam to deliver humanitarian aid, according to Denise Brown, the organization’s Humanitarian Coordinator for Ukraine.
“The Government of the Russian Federation has so far declined our request to access the areas under its temporary military control,” read Brown’s statement. She said the UN will “continue to engage to seek the necessary access.”
