Russian military offers humanitarian corridors for civilians from five Ukrainian cities

Russian military has again offered to provide humanitarian corridors for civilians to leave five Ukrainian cities. Russian Col. Gen. Mikhail Mizintsev said, the Russian military has announced it will stop firing at 10 am today to let civilians leave safely via the corridors. He suggested setting up a hotline between Russia and Ukraine to coordinate the



evacuation.

Ukrainian officials said that Russian shelling again made it impossible for civilians to use the corridors yesterday despite a deal reached a day earlier. However, Russian military has countered the claim, alleging that Ukraine has only allowed civilians to use one corridor from the city of Sumy and blocked other routes from Kyiv, Chernihiv, Kharkiv and Mariupol.
