Russia, Ukraine agree temporary ceasefire 
Russia and Ukraine have agreed to a temporary ceasefire in Ukraine to allow civilians to leave two cities, although Russian troops continued their broad offensive elsewhere in the country.
The ceasefire, in the cities of Mariupol and Volnovakha, began at 10 a.m. Moscow time (7 a.m. London, 2 a.m. ET) Saturday.
A Ukrainian official tweeted that “humanitarian corridors” were being prepared.
“In Mariupol and Volnovakha, evacuation humanitarian corridors are being prepared for opening, and columns of those to be evacuated are being formed. The parties temporarily ceased fire in the area of corridors,” Mykhailo Podoliak, an advisor to the Ukrainian Presidential Office who took part in negotiations with Russian officials this week, said on Twitter.
