UN calls on civilians to have safe roads.

On the refugee issue, Britain's defense minister acknowledged that Britain needed to do more to deal with the situation of Ukrainians arriving in Calais. Some have been told they will need to travel back to Paris or Brussels to apply for visas.

"We have to do more," he said. "We have to increase it. I know that in some cases, the Secretary of State has doubled or tripled the number of people in various processing centers."

He said the government's compassion was "enormous" and would result in the arrival of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians in Britain. "It's not that we only allow 300 people; it's because the system isn't fast enough, which we will check." In addition, we have more details on the evacuation of civilians from Sumy in northeastern Ukraine, which is ongoing.

Russia also Ukraine have agreed to set up humanitarian corridors to allow civilians to flee the city, which has been partially sealed off and shelled by Russian forces - nine people were reported dead on Monday.

The column of refugees will travel south on Sumy to Poltava - a Ukrainian city 175 km to the south. Previously, Moscow had offered to evacuate Ukrainians to Russia, but Ukraine rejected this as manipulation and propaganda that would put people's lives at risk.

The Ukrainian side urged Russian authorities to abide by the ceasefire agreement. Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Irina Vereshchuk said she plans to evacuate international students from India, China, and other countries.
