The Ukrainian government denounced Russia’s claims that it will open and operate humanitarian corridors in four Ukrainian cities on Monday morning after a bloody weekend in which Russian gunfire and shellings prevented thousands of civilians from evacuating the southeastern part of the country and the capital city of Kyiv.
The Russian Ministry of Defense announced that it will open humanitarian corridors in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Mariupol, and Sumy beginning Monday at 10:00 a.m. Moscow time. The new evacuation routes, however, will be limited and tightly controlled by Russia, with most pathways only allowing Ukrainians passage to Russia and Belarus.
