UN chief, Turkish president discuss humanitarian support for Ukraine
United Nations Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, has expressed his support for the Istanbul process in relation to Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine.
Mr Guterres said in a statement on Monday that he had called Turkish president, Recep Erdogan, to discuss the humanitarian corridors and evacuation of people in Ukraine.
According to the statement, Mr Guterres called president Erdoğan on Sunday to discuss humanitarian assistance for the people of Ukraine.
“The secretary-general expressed his ongoing support for the Istanbul process in relation to the war in Ukraine and reiterated the need for humanitarian corridors for the distribution of aid and the evacuation of people,” the statement said.
No fewer than 1,964 civilians have been killed and 2,613 injured in Ukraine since Russia invaded the country on February 24, according to UN estimates, with the true figure believed to be much higher.
More than 4.7 million Ukrainians have fled to other countries so far, with over seven million more internally displaced.
