Red Cross provides experts to negotiate aid for Ukrainian civilians

Geneva, March 17 The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has proposed the appointment of experts to facilitate the “most difficult humanitarian issues” in the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, President Peter Maurer said on Thursday. The head of a larger international humanitarian organization visited Kiev and met with several ministers of state to understand the most urgent needs of the population and demand respect for the basic principles of war. Civil protection is one of thethe most relevant. Maurer explained through a videoconference in Kiev that the humanitarian impact of the conflict was “very unequal” depending on the region he talks about in Ukraine. “We are going through a huge crisis around the urban battle zone, of which Mariupol is the most famous, but the reality is not the same everywhere, because there are other areas where infrastructure works, including Kiev,” he said. The volume of population movements outside and within Ukraine was considered one of the most serious aspects of this war. Maurer noted that Ukraine is a rapidly growing country in recent years that “makes the capacity and infrastructure of the population more important than others,” which has recently experienced armed conflicts. “This does not mean that the amount of humanitarian aid needs to be significantly increased, accelerated and adjusted.” /pddp
