Russia has reiterated that it will open roads for civilians to evacuate in Ukraine's capital and other major cities.
Let's connect with a reporter who is on the border with Ukraine to hear more details.
Correspondent Kwak Sang-eun, it is snowing a lot today (the 7th) as well.
Russia had previously promised to open the way for civilians, but did not keep its promise. Where are you going to do it this time?
<Reporter>
Yes, the Russian military announced that it would temporarily suspend artillery fire in major Ukrainian cities, including the capital Kiiu, from 4 pm today's time.
The idea is to open the way for civilians to evacuate, and I will explain while looking at the map.
The opening of the 'Humanitarian Channel' was announced in the capital Kiiu, the second city of Kharkiv, the northeastern border city of Sumi, and the southern city of Mariupol, where two temporary ceasefires were declared but not followed.
Previously, it was previously announced twice to open a humanitarian channel in two cities, Mariupol and Volnovaha, but they were not followed.
The evacuation route announced by the Russian Ministry of Defense continues to Russia and Belarus, and the bombardment continues, raising doubts about its authenticity.

As I just said, the temporary truce finally broke down. How are those cities now?
<Reporter>
I am concerned that I will become a hope advisor again this time.
Just before the broadcast started, I had a phone call with a citizen in Kiiu, the capital city.
However, it is said that there is still no sense of truce.
Let's hear it.
[Valeria / Kiiu citizen, Ukraine: I keep hearing the sound of a fighter flying low.
Even the news of the temporary ceasefire will not make any difference.]
The announcement of the opening of a humanitarian channel for the Russian military is an unbelievable promise.
[Valeria / Citizen of Kiiu, Ukraine: Putin's promise of a ceasefire is hard to believe.
Mariupol's friends (who were announced and canceled after a temporary truce was announced) are also unable to be contacted.]
Instead, tensions are rising that the Russian ground forces are imminent.
[Valeria/Ukraine citizens of Kiiu: You can hear gunshots and shells continuously, indicating that the fighting is in full swing.]
Citizens still remaining in the city said that they were preparing for a guerrilla war, securing weapons and strengthening their will to fight.
[Valeria/Ukraine Kiiu citizen: Russian troops have come close, but they will never be able to capture Kiiu.]

Russian President Putin said he had no intention of backing down even though the international community continued to impose sanctions?
<Reporter>
Yes, Putin said in a phone call with French President Macron that he would stop attacking only when Ukraine ceases hostilities and accepts his demands.
It has no intention of breaking Ukraine's desire to block NATO accession and absorb territories occupied by Russian rebels.
However, regarding nuclear concerns, Russia, Ukraine, and the International Atomic Energy Agency agreed in principle to hold a three-party talks.
