Russia has made a decision: Two corridors are being opened

Ministry of Defense of Russia announced that it is opening two maritime humanitarian corridors for the exit of foreign ships from the ports on the Black and Azov Seas. The corridors will be open every day from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Moscow time, said the head of the National Center for Defense Management, Mikhail Mizintsev.

He stated that a corridor 80 miles long and three miles wide would be opened in the Black Sea to exit the ports of Kherson, Nikolaev, Chernomorsk, Ochakov, Odessa and Yuzhne, in the direction of the southwest of the territorial sea of Ukraine, Interfax reports.

A corridor for the departure of ships from the port of Mariupol, 115 miles long and two miles wide in the direction of the Black Sea, will be opened in the Sea of Azov. Mizintsev said that 70 foreign ships from 16 countries were blocked in six ports - Kherson, Nikolaev, Chernomorsk, Ochakov, Odessa and Yuzhne. According to him, due to the danger of Ukrainian mines, ships cannot sail.

"We will help Kyiv"

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced the formation of a new British, US and EU group, which will help the Ukrainian state prosecutor to document, as he said, war crimes and other brutalities recorded in Ukraine.

"The new mechanism, called the Atrocity Crimes Advisory Group (ACA), will provide strategic advice and operational assistance to the War Crimes Unit of the Ukrainian Prosecutor's Office, the legally constituted body in charge of prosecuting war crimes and other crimes in Ukraine," Blinken said, CNN reported.

He said that while the United States and its allies support international efforts to bring those responsible for the crimes to justice, the Ukrainian prosecutor's office will play a key role in ensuring that those responsible for war crimes and other crimes are brought to justice.
