Amidst a deteriorating humanitarian situation, both sides had agreed to establish humanitarian corridors to allow civilians to escape the fighting in Mariupol and Kharkiv, among others. However, those corridors have had limited success due to continued Russian shelling.

Guess they don’t teach history much in Russia. Putin certainly doesn’t seem have pondered Stalin’s war with Finland. And now they to know that Russia sold Alaska to us. We didn’t just take it.
