Ukraine said it aimed to establish up to 10 humanitarian corridors on Friday, but civilians trying to flee Mariupol will have to use private vehicles. He also said the situation in Borodianka - another town northwest of Kyiv retaken from Russian forces - is "significantly more dreadful" than in Bucha, without citing any evidence.
Ukraine accused Hungary of undermining EU unity after Budapest said it was prepared to pay roubles for Russian gas, a Kremlin demand that most in the West had resisted. Authorities in Dnipro, a city in central-eastern Ukraine, also urged women, children and the elderly to leave. Russia has “drawn conclusions and changed tactics” and is now focusing on long-range strikes from the air, he said in a video address.
