Kiev, (Asian independent) Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk announced that there won’t be any “green corridors” for the evacuation of civilians on Friday as the routes are too dangerous.

In a Facebook post, she said: “Due to the danger along the routes today, 22 April, there will be no humanitarian corridors.

“To all those waiting to be evacuated: be patient, please hold on.”

On Thursday, evacuation buses with 79 Mariupol residents who left the besieged city the previous day arrived on territory controlled by the Ukrainian government.
