Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called the siege of Mariupol by the Russian military “war crimes” and ordered the suspension of 11 political parties with links to Russia on Sunday.
Seven humanitarian corridors, including from Mariupol to the Ukrainian-held city of Zaporizhzhia, were agreed for Sunday, Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said in a video statement.
Residents of Mariupol, under attack from Russian forces for weeks, can use the corridor to travel to the port city of Berdyansk, from where they can move to Zaporizhzhia, she said. The routes also include two evacuation corridors from villages east and west of Kyiv, she said.
Russia on Saturday bombed an art school in the besieged city of Mariupol where about 400 civilians were sheltering, trapping people in the basement, the city council said early.
