LVIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia announced yet another cease-fire and a handful of humanitarian corridors to allow civilians to flee Ukraine.
Previous such measures have fallen apart and Moscow’s armed forces continued to pummel some Ukrainian cities with rockets Monday.
A day earlier, hundreds of thousands of civilians attempting to flee to safety were forced to shelter from what Ukrainian officials said was Russian shelling in cities in the center, north and south.
The Russian Defense Ministry said a cease-fire would start in the morning, and safe passages would open for civilians from several cities.
But some of the evacuation routes would funnel civilians toward Russia or its ally Belarus.
Those are unlikely destinations for many Ukrainians.
A third round of talks is planned.
