INTERNATIONAL: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Monday ,March 7, hasrejected Russian proposals to evacuate Ukrainian citizens into what he has described as "occupied territory" in Russia and Belarus.

"They open a tiny corridor leading to the occupied territory, for a couple of dozen of people. Not so much to Russia as to their propaganda, their TV cameras saying 'look who is saving people.'Its just a “plain cynicism, plain propaganda," Ukranian president has said.

Russia has proposed the establishment of humanitarian corridors to allow civilians to leave five Ukrainian cities including the capital Kyiv from 9 a.m. local time (0700 GMT) on Tuesday ,March 8, pending Ukrainian agreement, Russian news agencies has reported.

But most of the corridors would travel through Russia or Belarus, something Ukrainian authorities have rejected in the past.

Ukraine has been given until 3 a.m. Moscow time (0000 GMT) to agree to the terms.
