Ukraine invited the UN to visit Kursk region. A response followed
Ukrainian authorities have invited representatives of the United Nations to visit the Kursk region of Russia.
A response soon followed. From the UN. They informed Kyiv that permission from the Russian Federation was required for such a visit.
This is how the representative of the UN Secretary General Stephane Dujarric commented on the invitation from the Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs Andriy Sybiga.
The short answer from us is yes, we are ready to do this, but we will need permission from the Russian Federation, the MIA Rossiya Segodnya quotes a high-ranking official as saying.
By the way, the official representative of the Kremlin, Dmitry Peskov, also responded to the statement of the head of the Ukrainian MFA.
He called the “invitation” a provocation, recalling that Kyiv had invited UN and International Red Cross staff to visit areas of the Kursk region that had previously been attacked by the Ukrainian army.
