Russian state media claim Moscow announces temporary ceasefire to let civilians leave two Ukraine cities

Russia’s state-controlled media claimed Saturday that the country’s Defense Ministry has announced a temporary ceasefire in Ukraine to allow civilians to leave the cities of Mariupol and Volnovakha.

It was not immediately clear whether Ukraine had agreed to a ceasefire or been made aware of Russia’s plans to announce one.

The ceasefire will reportedly begin at 10 a.m. Moscow time (2 a.m. ET).

Mariupol and Volnovakha lie about 30 miles (48 km) apart in Ukraine’s extreme southeast corner, near the Russian border. Mariupol is a port city on the Sea of Azov.

2. Didn't they say they agreed to this a few days back? A "corridor" to allow civilians to leave

And haven’t honored it?

5. Sounds more like Russia saying "Get out, so we can take over faster."

6. After watching the report on MSNBC

I doubt the Russians are doing this for humanitarian reasons but more likely a chance to give the Russian troops a chance to get supplies and food. Don't be fooled, this is not long term good news.

7. More like Russia forces Ukrainians from their homes.

The Russian defense ministry said in a statement that it was declaring a ceasefire and opening "humanitarian corridors" to allow civilians to leave the cities of Mariupol and Volnovakha. But Mariupol deputy mayor Serhiy Orlov told the BBC that "The Russians are continuing to bomb us and use artillery” despite the ceasefire. In a message on Telegram, the city council said fighting was also taking place in the Zaporizhzhia region, where the humanitarian corridor ends.

10. I think...

... most leaders will believe nothing Putin's Russia says... good thing The Donald isn't President; he would be praising the ceasefire as his idea. When it breaks, he would blame Hunter's laptop.

11. In Syria, they mowed down the people leaving. They're shooting at them now in

Ukraine.

If their lips are moving, they are lying.

18. Of course I believe russia will abide by it.

russia never invaded nor started a war with Ukraine so there'll be no shooting.
trump is rightful President.
Biden only cares about Ukraine because of Hunter's interests there.
