Russia's Defense Ministry says the Russian military will call a ceasefire in several Ukrainian cities on Monday and allow civilians to leave. According to the AFP news agency, a ceasefire will be reached on humanitarian grounds from 10 am.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the ceasefire was decided at the special request of French President Emmanuel McKeown.
According to the report, corridors are being opened from Mariupol and Sami.
A map published by Russia's RIA Novosti news agency shows that the corridor from Kiev to Belarus will be opened, while those going from Kharkiv to Russia will have access to the corridor.
Similarly, citizens from Mariupol and Sami will be able to travel to other cities in the country and to Russia.
The ministry also said that those who want to leave Kiev will be able to go to Russia. "The evacuation process will be monitored with the help of drones."
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, "all attempts by Ukraine to deceive Russia and the world are in vain this time."
Earlier, fighting raged between Sunday and Monday night and in the morning, leaving 20,000 people trapped in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, and the Russian president said the fighting would continue until Kiev surrendered. Ukraine, meanwhile, has called on the UN High Court to issue an emergency ruling to stop the Russian invasion. Russia announces ceasefire for evacuation in some Ukrainian cities file photo (A.F.P)
According to the Reuters news agency, most of the people in the coastal city of Mariupol are trapped in underground places, while water and electricity have also been cut off due to the bombing in the city.
The United Nations says 364 civilians have been killed, including more than 20 children, and hundreds more injured since the February 24 attack by Moscow.
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights says most of the deaths were caused by bombings.
Russia's claim is based on misinterpretation
According to Reuters, Ukraine will tell the court on Monday that "Putin's claim of genocide is based on misinterpretation."
Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that Russia's military action was necessary to protect victims of bullying and genocide in eastern Ukraine. Ukraine has responded by calling the claim "misinterpreted."
It has filed a lawsuit against the International Criminal Court (ICC), and the two countries have signed a 1948 agreement to prevent genocide. The purpose of this agreement is to resolve disputes between the signatory countries.
Although countries generally follow court decisions, courts do not have the resources to directly enforce their decisions. In addition, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Saturday that Russia was misinterpreting and misusing the term "genocide".Russia announces ceasefire for evacuation in some Ukrainian cities
The United Nations said on Sunday that more than 1.5 million people had fled Ukraine since the Russian invasion. According to officials and UN experts, this number could increase with the advance of Russia.
UNHCR High Commissioner Filippo Grande wrote in a tweet that "1.5 million people have fled Ukraine to neighboring countries in 10 days, the biggest refugee crisis in Europe since World War II." According to the United Nations, 4 million people could leave the country.
