"Frankly, I do not recommend that any reporters trust any of putin's proposals for "corridors" in the warzone. I saw firsthand how such proposals play out—on August 29, 2014, in Ilovaysk", - wrote MFA spokesperson Heorhii Tykhyi on X on October 30, responding to putin’s statement about the “encirclement zone” of the AFU, into which the media would supposedly be allowed.
According to Tykhyi, putin’s only goal is prolonging the war.
"And he has never kept any of his ceasefire pledges. Do not assist him in justifying his crimes through russian provocations against journalists. I also remind all media that any visits to russian-occupied territory without Ukraine's permission are a violation of our legislation and international law. They will have long-term reputational and legal consequences. We are watching closely", - Tykhyi noted.
