Russia announces a temporary ceasefire in Ukraine after over a week of war

Russia declared a partial ceasefire on Saturday to allow humanitarian corridors out of the Ukrainian cities of Mariupol and Volnovakha, Russia's defence ministry said.

"From 10am Moscow time (7am UK time), the Russian side declares a ceasefire and the opening of humanitarian corridors to allow civilians to leave Mariupol and Volnovakha," Russian news agencies quoted the Russian defence ministry as saying.

It comes as the war entered its 10th day on Saturday with Russian troops besieging and bombarding cities in the biggest attack on a European state since World War Two.
