Details: The Russian Armed Forces claim that since the morning of 25 May, "a maritime humanitarian corridor" 115 miles long and 2 miles wide "is open 24 hours a day in the Sea of Azov".

The Russian invaders are asking foreign cargo ships the Tzarevna (Bulgaria), Azburg (Dominican Republic), Smart (Liberia), Blue Star (Panama), Azov Concord (Turkey) and the Lady Augusta (Jamaica) to leave the water area of Mariupol, along a supposedly safe corridor.

The Russian ministry added that "the harbour can be safely used by civilian vessels".
