Ukraine has offered refuge to Russian civilians escaping the conflict in the Kursk region, which has seen heavy fighting since Ukraine's recent incursion. Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk announced the offer on Telegram, stating that Ukraine is prepared to help Russian refugees and has opened a 24-hour hotline for those needing aid. Vereshchuk is working to establish a safe route for refugees to cross into Ukraine, but this requires cooperation from Russia, which has yet to respond. Ukraine emphasized its commitment to international humanitarian law and providing protection for affected civilians.
