The Ukrainian military commandant's office ensures compliance with international humanitarian law in the Kursk region and provides comprehensive assistance to local residents, according to the Telegram of the Ground Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

It is noted that a significant number of civilians who were abandoned by the Russian authorities remain on the territory controlled by the Ukrainian troops without any means of subsistence (food, electricity, water, and gas).

“From the first days of its establishment, the Ukrainian military commandant's office has been providing comprehensive assistance to local residents,” the Ground Forces said.

Since most of the residents of the Kursk region are elderly people and children, representatives of civil-military cooperation and doctors of the military commandant's office examine patients every day and provide all necessary medical care.

In addition, in accordance with international humanitarian law, the military commandant's office provides civilians with food and drinking water.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces emphasized that the Russian side has not created humanitarian corridors and has not provided any assistance to its citizens.
