Moscow-proposed ‘humanitarian corridors’ in Ukraine lead to Russia and Belarus
Euractiv ^ | March 6, 2022

Russia’s military will hold fire and open humanitarian corridors in several Ukrainian cities on Monday (7 March), the Defence Ministry said, after fighting halted weekend evacuation efforts and civilian casualties from Russia’s invasion mounted.

The corridors will opened at 10 a.m. Moscow time (0700 GMT) from the capital Kyiv as well as the cities of Kharkiv, Mariupol and Sumy and are being set up at the personal request of French President Emmanuel Macron, the ministry said.

According to maps published by the RIA news agency, the corridor from Kyiv will lead to Russian ally Belarus, and civilians from Kharkiv will only have a corridor leading to Russia. Corridors from Mariupol and Sumy will lead both to other Ukrainian cities and to Russia.

Those who want to leave Kyiv will also be able to be airlifted to Russia, the ministry said, adding it would use drones to monitor the evacuation.

Quite the dark sense of humor those Russians have.

from those other countries they can proceed to wherever. If you open one across Ukraine into Poland, suddenly that will become a sacrosanct NATO supply route.

Well, those are areas that the Russians control and have some chance of providing safety.

Screw Putin. He just wants hostages and human shields.

Does anyone believe the Russians will do that? I certainly don’t. They will wait until those passages are full of Ukrainians and then open fire, like a slaughterhouse.

Doubt that, but the Russians will unquestionably search everyone coming through and detain anyone they thnk is pro-Zelensky.

Putin needs to die. That’s quickly becoming the only way forward because he’s lied so many times that no one will trust him anymore.

Won’t do any good. Ukraine is using civilians as human shields and will not let them leave. The Ukrainians put heavy weapons in schools and apartment building just like terrorist do. The media and the US is fine with all this. Same as it ever was.

>> Ukraine is using civilians as human shields and will not let them leave. <<

FReepers make up crazier propaganda than Putin! What about those million and a half refugees streaming into Poland, etc.? And those millions of internally displaced people?

“Ukraine is using civilians as human shields and will not let them leave.”

No, Ukraine is letting women, children and old folks leave, just not men of fighting age. You know, because they are being invaded.

Hope not. Because we will get one of two things. Either a western controlled, Soros and DC friendly puppet who will bring in the whole raft of western demands like globohomo, globalist “free” trade like China and return Russia to the 90s.... or even worse, a dictator that arises out of a destroyed economy the way Hitler rose out of Weimar Germany. And someone like that will make the world wish for the good old days of Putin.

I don’t think asking for a link to a source is unreasonable to ask. So is there a source or is your claim BS?
