The UK condemns Russia's use of indiscriminate force against innocent civilians and its failure to provide for safe passage out of besieged cities across Ukraine, including in Sumy, which is a clear breach of international law. We are concerned by the reports of trapped civilians.

It is vital that humanitarian corridors remain open as well as allow unimpeded humanitarian access and we urge Russia to immediately end its assault on Ukraine.
