“We don’t believe the words. After the escalation of Russia, we don’t believe our neighbours. We don’t believe all of this,” he said.

 

Meanwhile, Russian forces have announced they would close the entry and exit to Ukrainian city of Mariupol starting on Monday

 

The Russian military officials said that men remaining in the city would be “filtered out.”

 

The city’s mayor, according to his adviser, Petro Andriushchenko said the Russians had begun issuing passes for movement within the city.
