There are no agreements on humanitarian corridors from the Azovstal plant in Mariupol today.

This was announced by Deputy Prime Minister – Minister for Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine Iryna Vereshchuk .
Quote
“Today, the Russian side once again announced the existence of a corridor for civilians to leave Azovstal. This could be believed if the Russians had not broken the humanitarian corridors many times before. I know what I am saying, because on behalf of the President I am personally conducting such negotiations and organizing humanitarian corridors, “Vereshchuk wrote.
She noted that it is important to understand that the humanitarian corridor is opened by agreement of the two sides.
“The corridor, announced unilaterally, does not provide security, and therefore, in fact, is not a humanitarian corridor. So, I officially and publicly declare: unfortunately, there are no agreements on humanitarian corridors from Azovstal today, ”Vereshchuk said.
