Russia and Ukraine blame each other for Failing to Evacuate Civilians

Russia is taking the step at the explicit request of French President Emmanuel Macron, as well as in view of the situation in these cities, the statement said.

At the same time, the third round of Russian-Ukrainian ceasefire talks is scheduled for today, after last week's talks, including humanitarian corridor agreements, failed.
