Planned humanitarian corridors in Ukraine for March 15
On March 15, nine humanitarian corridors are expected to be established around Ukraine, according to Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk. If observed, they will enable the evacuation of civilians and resupply for the regions in the country where the humanitarian situation is most dire.
Vereshchuk said that the corridors will hopefully be established in Donetsk, Kyiv, Sumy, and Kharkiv oblasts.
Donetsk
A humanitarian convoy is expected to deliver tons of water, medicine, and food from Berdyansk to Mariupol. If successful, the same convoy will then pick up and evacuate women, children, and other civilians from Mariupol to Zaporizhzhya.
Kyiv
From the villages of Bohdanivka and Novobohdanivka to the town of Bro-vary.
From the village of Bobryk to Brovary.
Sumy
From the city of Sumy, the towns of Trostyanets, Lebedin, Shostka, and Konotop to the city of Poltava.
Kharkiv
From the village of Oskol.
Ukraine and Russia arrange for humanitarian corridors daily, but Russian forces frequently scupper them by opening fire on civilians attempting to evacuate.
At 5 a.m. on Feb. 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that he had decided to launch a "special military operation" in the Donbas follow-ing a request from the puppet authorities in the non-government-con-trolled Luhansk and Donetsk territories. In fact, Russian forces launched a full-scale invasion, though this is being concealed from the Russian public.
March 15 is the 20th day of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russia is advancing from the north, east and south, indiscriminately bombing urban centres and residential areas.
From the first days of the war, the situation has been most dire in Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, in Kyiv and its outskirts.
The invaders are also trying to seize the government-controlled territories of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts.
