2:21Now PlayingA deal to allow safe passage for civilians in two besieged cities in southeastern Ukraine appeared to collapse within hours on Saturday, with the government in Kyiv accusing Russian forces of violating the agreement to press its assault.
Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said that Russian forces resumed shelling Volnovakha with heavy weaponry, while fighting was also taking place along a route meant to serve as a humanitarian corridor to evacuate some 200,000 people from the nearby port city of Mariupol.
She said in an earlier video address that a deal had been reached with the Russian side on the routes to be used, how the convoys would move, and how humanitarian aid was to be delivered, with the Red Cross set to monitor the local cease-fires.
“We call on the international community -- states and international organizations -- to condemn Russia’s gross violation of the agreements on the opening of humanitarian corridors,” the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said. There was no immediate comment from Russia or from the Red Cross.
The chaos surrounding plans for even a temporary halt in hostilities to allow the evacuation of civilians -- among them 15,000 children, women and elderly people from Volnovakha -- underscored the bitter nature of the war launched by Russia to remove Ukraine’s democratic leadership and install a pro-Kremlin government.
