news of the day
Early this morning, Moscow announced the opening of several humanitarian corridors and
the establishment of local ceasefires to evacuate civilians from the Ukrainian cities of Kharkiv, Kyiv, Mariupol and Sumy, beset by heavy fighting.
“Russian forces, for humanitarian purposes, declare a “regime of silence” from 10 a.m. (8 a.m. in France) on March 7 and the opening of humanitarian corridors,” said the Russian Ministry of Defense.
However, in the middle of the morning Kiev formally refused these humanitarian corridors through the voice of Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk.
“It is not an acceptable option,” she lamented.
According to her, the civilians called by the Russians to be evacuated from the cities of Kharkiv, Kiev, Mariupol and Sumy “will not go to Belarus to then take the plane and go to Russia”.

All that is not serious, it is moral and political cynicism, which is unbearable to me.
It's a communication artifact that I disapprove of.
