The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cyprus is deeply concerned about the blockade of Mariupol by Russian forces and the cutting off of water supplies to the city, electricity and food supplies.
In a statement, the Foreign Ministry calls for an immediate end to the blockade on humanitarian grounds, so as to avoid further complications that pose an immediate risk to the lives of its residents.
"We call for and look forward to the establishment and maintenance of humanitarian corridors so that there can be a safe and orderly evacuation of the civilian population," the MFA notes."
"Our concern about the security situation in the country is not limited to the Mariupol area, but extends to the entire country. However, the presence of thousands of expatriates and civilians in Mariupol is naturally of particular concern to us," the MFA underlines.
