Nine evacuation routes leading out of different Ukrainian cities, including the besieged southeastern city of Mariupol, have been agreed for Thursday, the Ukrainian government said, APA reports citing CNN.
The corridors are designed to allow safe transport of humanitarian aid into the cities, and safe passage out for residents who want to leave.
In recent days, an increasing number of private vehicles have made it out of Mariupol even though a formal corridor has not been in place. A humanitarian convoy destined for the city has been stuck in Berdiansk, some 80 kilometers (50 miles) to the west, for days.
