JAKARTA - Ukraine established a storage facility in the northern region of Sumy to accommodate and send humanitarian aid to Russian civilians in Kursk section, western Russia now controlled by Kyiv.

Ukraine claims to control 82 settlements in an area of 1,150 square kilometers (44 square miles) after carrying out a massive attack.

Most of the citizens left by Russia are elderly people, people with disabilities, and families with children. They need food, water and medicine," said Ukrainian Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko.

He did not specify how many storage facilities had been established, or where they were located.

On his way to the Sumy region, which borders the Russian Kursk region, Klymenko said about 150 food packages had been delivered to civilians in the region.

Kyiv officials said they plan to build an evacuation corridor from the Kursk area and open access to international humanitarian missions.

Russia calls the Ukrainian attack a major provocation and promises to retaliate with appropriate responses.
