Russia-Ukraine War: Ukraine Rejects  Moscow-Proposed Humanitarian Corridors To Belarus, Russia.

Ukraine on Monday rejected the humanitarian corridors proposed by Moscow, that would have routed its citizens into Belarus and Russia.

As the invasion of Ukraine continues, efforts are being made to set up humanitarian corridors to allow civilians to exit the war-hit cities.

The announcement came from Russia after another night of relentless bombardment by the invading forces from the air, land and sea.

Eight civilians were killed in the midst of an evacuation in Ukraine’s Irpin after Russian troops opened shelling during an evacuation across a bridge, Reuters reported quoting an official statement by Irpin’s mayor Oleksandr Markushyn. The Russia-Ukraine war on Friday (March 7) entered its 12th day.

The fighting also prevented residents from evacuating Mariupol for the second day in a row as Russian President Vladimir Putin vowed to press ahead with his invasion.

So far over 360 civilians have been killed in Ukraine since Russia’s invasion began, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) said in a statement Sunday.

Notably, 1,123 civilians have been wounded, including 364 killed and 759 injured, OHCHR said, acknowledging that the real figures are likely “considerably higher.”

The number of refugees who fled the country since the invasion has crossed the 1.2 million mark, said United Nations.
