Ukraine & Russia say they have agreed to temporary local cease-fires to create

“humanitarian corridors” so civilians can be evacuated & food & medicine can be delivered

This was reported earlier about the corridors but the cease-fire was new to me

That’s the only way to achieve a surrender/ occupation.
