Russia should not take advantage of a humanitarian corridor to move its troops forward, warned Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk.
She said her government was “verifying” information that Russian troops were using the ceasefire to approach Ukrainian positions in areas along the evacuation routes.
“We are using this channel to evacuate civilians – women and children – as well as to send humanitarian aid to those who remain,” she said. “The whole world is watching.”
Vereshchuk also confirmed that the International Committee of the Red Cross mediated the ceasefire talks and will head the evacuation columns along the agreed roads outside the cities.
The ceasefire is in force around the cities of Mariupol and Volnovakha from 09:00 -16: 00 local time (07: 00-14: 00 GMT).
