Ukraine says Russia preventing opening of humanitarian corridor

Ukraine's deputy prime minister said Sunday that despite a deal reached with Russia, the opening of a humanitarian corridor in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol has failed.

The evacuation could not take place as Russian attacks resumed Sunday morning following a partial cease-fire, said Iryna Vereshchuk, who is also minister for reintegration of the temporary occupied territories.

She said Russia once again prevented the opening of the corridor by targeting the road where the evacuation should take place with the humanitarian aid convoy.
