Ukraine: Putin orders additional payments to families of Russian soldiers killed, wounded
Russian President, Vladimir Putin, has hailed the Russian military as heroes and ordered additional payments to families of the soldiers who were killed and servicemen who were wounded in action during the invasion of Ukraine.
In a report by AP, Putin reaffirmed his claim that the Russian military was fighting “neo-Nazis,” adding that some Ukrainians were also “fooled by nationalist propaganda.”
Speaking in a video call with members of his Security Council, has charged that Ukrainian nationalist groups are preventing civilians from leaving.
He also noted that the Russian military has offered safe corridors to civilians to allow them to leave areas of fighting in Ukraine.
Meanwhile, a member of Ukraine’s delegation in talks with Russia says the parties have reached a tentative agreement to organize safe corridors for civilians to evacuate and for humanitarian supplies to be delivered.
Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy who took part in Thursday’s talks in Belarus near the Polish border, said that Russia and Ukraine reached a preliminary understanding that cease-fires will be observed in areas where the safe corridors are established.
