Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said that no escape paths for civilian evacuation will be available in Ukrainian cities on Monday.
Vereshchuk acknowledged two humanitarian corridors, one from Mariupol to Zaporizhzhia and the other between two towns in the Luhansk area.
“Our intelligence reported possible provocations by the occupiers on the routes of humanitarian corridors,” Deputy PM said on the Telegram channel. “Therefore, for reasons of public safety, we do not open humanitarian corridors today.”
