Russians do not stop shelling in Donetsk to create a humanitarian corridor but Putin lies that neo-Nazis are to blame.

In Mariupol the evacuation of civilians was thwarted- the Russian occupiers do not stop firing, despite the agreement. It will be recalled that the parties to the conflict had previously agreed that there would be a regime of silence on March 5 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and the evacuation was to begin at 11 a.m. Instead the crowd of people who came to the gathering place started firing, the rescue operation was postponed. Mariupol is on the verge of a humanitarian catastrophe. The city is without communications, food and medicine.

At the same time, Russian President Vladimir Putin is cynically lying at a meeting with Aeroflot employees that the Ukrainian military is using people as a ‘human shield’. Direct speech:

• called from management, from Kyiv. They came out to our servicemen: “Provide corridors for the exit of citizens”. Of course, our people reacted immediately stopping hostilities. What is happening? No one is released. Do you understand what they are doing? No one is released. They cover themselves like a human shield. Who is this? Of course- neo-Nazis.
