Lavrov dismisses need for UN help on humanitarian corridors

The Russian foreign minister appears to have dismissed the need for the United Nations to help secure humanitarian corridors out of Ukraine’s  cities.

As an interviewer at Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya TV tried to ask Lavrov about UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’s call for humanitarian assistance and the evacuation of civilians, Lavrov cut him off.

“There is no need. I know, I know,” Lavrov said. “There is no need for anybody to provide help to open humanitarian corridors.”
