LIVE UPDATES FROM THE UKRAINE-RUSSIA WAR: THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS WORSENS AS ATTACKS CONTINUE


Ukraine and Russia made cautious progress in negotiations Monday but failed to achieve a compromise on building "humanitarian corridors" between pummelled cities, as the bloodshed from Moscow's assault escalated.

The third round of negotiations, which focused on providing people with evacuation routes from encircled towns, yielded "good outcomes," according to Kyiv, while Russia stated its expectations from the talks were "not met."

Subject to Ukraine's consent, Russia said it would establish humanitarian routes on Tuesday at 0700 GMT. Ukraine has already rejected a Russian plan for humanitarian corridors connecting Kharkiv, Kyiv, Mariupol, and Sumy, citing the fact that many of the routes ran directly to Russia or its ally Belarus.

Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that he is not sending conscripts or reservists to participate, and that the conflict in Ukraine is being led by "professional" forces with "defined aims."

President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine reiterated his call for the West to boycott Russian exports, particularly oil, and impose a no-fly zone to stop the carnage.

Since Russia's full-scale invasion on February 24, more than 1.7 million people have fled Ukraine.
