Ukraine slams Moscow's offer to evacuate civilians to Russia and Belarus as 'immoral'
CNN
Ordinary Ukrainians living in some areas under attack by Russian forces faced a cynical proposal on Monday: stay put and risk getting bombed, or leave home and head for Russia or Belarus.
Ukrainian officials rejected the Kremlin's unilateral proposal for evacuation corridors for civilians as an unacceptable non-starter. Most of the routes lead to Russia or its staunch ally Belarus and would require people to travel through active areas of fighting.
A spokesman for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called Moscow's offer "completely immoral" and said Russia was trying to "use people's suffering to create a television picture," Reuters reported.
After recent burglaries at homes of professional athletes – including Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce – the NFL and NBA have issued security memos to teams and players warning that “organized and skilled groups” are increasingly targeting players’ residences for such crimes.
