Berlin, March 21, (dpa/GNA) – Eight humanitarian corridors for civilians to escape the war in Ukraine are planned for Monday, says the Ukrainian authorities.
The corridors will be used for buses to evacuate and deliver aid, said Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk.
People are to be taken from the vicinity of the besieged port city of Mariupol to the south-eastern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhya. Evacuation closer to the capital is planned from the embattled localities north and east of the capital Kiev, according to the plan.
The plan also calls for evacuation from the greater area of Zyverodonetsk and Lysychansk in the Luhansk region, to the town of Bachmut in the neighbouring Donetsk region.
