Humanitarian corridors to be established out of Mariupol, which has suffered days of shelling and eastern city of Volnovakha
Russia said its forces had stopped firing near two besieged Ukrainian cities on Saturday to allow safe passage to civilians fleeing fighting, but city officials said Moscow was not fully observing the partial ceasefire.
The southeastern port city has come under heavy bombardment, a sign of its strategic value to Moscow due to its position between Russian-backed separatist territory in east Ukraine and the Crimean peninsula, which Moscow seized from Ukraine in 2014. But the city council later said Russia was not observing the ceasefire entirely. “We are negotiating with the Russian side to confirm the ceasefire along the entire evacuation route,” it said. There was no direct response from the Russian side.
