Nine evacuation corridors agreed today - Ukraine

Nine evacuation corridors have been agreed for Thursday in an effort to help people trapped in besieged cities across Ukraine to escape, Qazet.az reports according to the country's deputy prime minister.

Writing on Telegram, Iryna Vereshchuk said humanitarian corridors have been organised from cities including Berdyansk, Tokmak, Enerhodar and Mariupol, which has been under siege by Russian troops for weeks.

She added that evacuation routes would operate in the Luhansk region if occupying Russian forces stopped their shelling.
