LONDON: Beleaguered Indian citizens in the south-eastern Ukrainian Mariupol area, particularly Sumy, are claimed to be stuck and unable to flee the escalating crisis, with Russia and Ukraine still at odds over a humanitarian corridor for people out of the conflict zone. Sumy is home to approximately 700 Indians.

On Sunday, about half of the people sleeping in underground shelters in Mariupol without food, water, power, or heating were supposed to be evacuated, but the ceasefire agreement fell apart.

As per reports, Moscow "would allow residents of Ukraine's two largest cities (Kiev and Kharkiv) to flee through corridors to Russia and Belarus." Ukraine referred to this as a "immoral stunt."

Ukrainians interviewed by the BBC as they prepared to board trains to western Ukraine and beyond to European Union countries said they would not travel to Russia or Belarus.

On Monday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the media that Russia would end its military action in Ukraine if Kiev stopped fighting, changed its constitution to declare neutrality, recognised Crimea as Russian territory, and recognised the pro-Russian Ukrainian rebel regions of Donensk and Lugansk as independent.

Ukraine claimed, "11,000 soldiers of the enemies were killed..."
