Ukraine plans eight humanitarian corridors for escape
Ukrainian authorities on Monday said the country had planned eight humanitarian corridors for civilians to escape the war in Ukraine.
Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said the corridors would be used for buses to evacuate people and deliver aid.
Ms Vereshchuk stated that people would be taken from the vicinity of the besieged port city of Mariupol to the south-eastern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhya.
She added that the evacuation closer to the capital was planned from the embattled localities north and east of the capital Kyiv.
The plan also calls for evacuation from the greater area of Severodonetsk and Lysychansk in the Luhansk region to the town of Bakhmut in the neighbouring Donetsk region.
