According to its Defense Ministry, Russia wants to allow humanitarian corridors for the Ukrainian cities of Mariupol and Volnovakha. After another night of war, Ukraine is preparing for a new round of negotiations with Russia.

The Russian Defense Ministry has ordered a ceasefire in Mariupol and Volnovakha in eastern Ukraine to allow civilians to be evacuated from the cities besieged by Russian forces. Russian forces should stop firing in the morning, reports the Russian agency Interfax, citing the Russian Ministry of Defense. Then the humanitarian corridors are to be opened to civilians.
