Russian MoD claims Kiev attacked humanitarian corridors & set new demands just hours before talks
Ukraine reportedly demanded the evacuation of multiple settlements in Kiev and Kharkov regions, where the Russian Defense Min. says residents face no threat and don't want to leave. The MoD says Kiev has lost control - accusing it of having a lawless parallel govt - and asking to evacuate areas held by its own battalions.
The Russian side said it made no genuine attempt to use the humanitarian corridors, with 172 shelling attacks on the 3 safe passages declared by Russian forces - with threats apparently made to those attempting to use them.
