Ukraine has rejected Russia's offer to open a "humanitarian corridor"
Ukraine has rejected Russia's offer to open a "humanitarian corridor" between Russia and Belarus for the safe passage of its citizens stranded in war-torn Ukraine.
Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister Irina Vereshchuk said the proposal was rejected. The proposal gave citizens of Kiev and its suburbs the option to move to the city of Gomel in Belarus, and citizens of Kharkiv, Sumi to the city of Belgorod, Russia, Vereshchuk noted. The Ukrainian government has proposed eight corridors. Russia does not carry out bombings in the western part of Ukraine. It is proposed that citizens be allowed to enter the area. He also called on Russia to stop misleading India, France, China and Turkey.
Meanwhile, thousands of civilians trying to flee Ukraine had to take refuge in safe bunkers due to Russian bombings. Citizens are trying to get out of the suburbs of Kiev. The bomber struck shortly after noon in front of a crowd of mourners. A car was targeted in a Russian rocket attack in Kharkiv. The bombing appears to have intensified after Sunday night.
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zhilenski has maintained his determination to fight. "Everyone should take to the streets to get Danwala out of their land," he said.
