Ukraine’s deputy prime minister says 10 humanitarian corridors have been agreed for today, the Kyiv Independent reports.
Civilians will be allowed to safely evacuate from four cities in the Kyiv Oblast and six cities in the Luhansk Oblast, the news site says.
The report says those in the besieged port city of Mariupol must make their own way to nearby Zaporizhzhia, because Russian forces are refusing to let buses through.
The mayor of Mariupol says he spoke to France’s ambassador to Ukraine about options for evacuating civilians after French President Emmanuel Macron said he would propose such plans to Russia, Sky News reports.
Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boichenko says in a television address that the situation in the city remained critical, with street fighting taking place in the city center.
