Putin Follows President Macron's Advice, Agrees To Ceasefire To Evacuate Civilians But Escorted By Drone

JAKARTA - The Russian government announced a ceasefire in many parts of Ukraine so that civilians could immediately leave Kyiv, Mariupol, Kharkiv, and Sumy. However, all of these processes will be under the strict supervision of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV).

Russia's defense ministry, as reported by The Guardian, citing the Interfax news agency, said the Russian military would reportedly hold backfire and open humanitarian corridors in several Ukrainian cities.

And the ministry said that the request came from French President Emmanuel Macron, who was greeted with approval by Vladimir Putin.

The ceasefire will start at 10:00 Russian time. So civilians will be able to leave Kyiv, Mariupol, Kharkiv, and Sumy.

At the same time, during the opening of the humanitarian corridor, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will continue to objectively monitor evacuations, including with the use of UAVs.

Russia warns that no one tries to deceive all these processes in interfering with humanitarian operations.

"Kyiv's attempts to accuse Russia of interfering with humanitarian operations this time are meaningless, control will be carried out with the help of drones", the ministry said.
