Even if the situation remains fragile, an agreement was reached between Russia and Ukraine to create six humanitarian corridors in order to evacuate civilians on Wednesday March 9.
On the fourteenth day of the war, talks between Ukraine and Russia led to the conclusion of a ceasefire in six places in the country, in order to put in place humanitarian corridors to evacuate civilians, between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. Like between Sumy, in the north, and Poltava, with several civilian buses that have been chartered. Another, further east, between Izioum and Lozova, and finally between Energodar and Zaporozhye, the city where the nuclear power plant taken by the Russians is located. Three others, for example in Irpin, were implemented in the suburbs of Kiev, for the time being a little safer, even if the Russian troops are approaching the capital.
But the situation remains fragile, and certain Russian promises have not been kept, such as in Kharkiv, Mariupol or when Moscow offered humanitarian corridors to Russia and Belarus, which Kiev refused. Normally, international law protects humanitarian corridors, namely “a secure route which must allow the delivery of aid or the evacuation of people”, which is defined by article 23 of the Geneva Convention of 1949 But historical precedents, such as in Chechnya or Syria, have shown that these rules were not always respected.
