Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said that it will become clear Friday if the warring parties can successfully create humanitarian corridors to help civilians escape some of the worst fighting in the country, APA reports citing CNN.
Envoys from Russia and Ukraine agreed to put in place the corridors during talks in Belarus on Thursday.
"Today we will see if the agreement works," Zelensky said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has acknowledged casualties on his side.
CNN is unable to verify casualty numbers claimed by either side in the conflict.
