Britain said on Saturday that the Russian-proposed ceasefire in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol was likely an attempt to evade international condemnation, while giving it a chance to reorganize its forces for a new offensive, Reuters reported.
“By accusing Ukraine of violating the agreement, Russia is likely to shift responsibility for the current and future civilian casualties in the city,” the Pentagon said in a statement.
Russia said earlier it had opened humanitarian corridors near the besieged cities of Mariupol and Volnovacha. Russia’s Defense Ministry has accused Ukrainian “nationalists” of blocking civilians from leaving, the RIA Novosti news agency reported. But the Mariupol city council said Russia was not complying with the ceasefire.
