The Russian government gave Ukraine a line of the early hours of Monday morning to respond — but Ukraine rejected the offer, saying it would not surrender the port city. Here's what we know about the ultimatum. What did Russia demand? Russia demanded that Ukrainians in the besieged city of Mariupol lay down their arms in exchange for safe passage out of town. Russian news agency TASS reported that forces were going to allow two corridors out of the coastal city, heading either east toward Russia or west to other parts of Ukraine. Russia's National Defence Management Centre chief Colonel General Mikhail Mizintsev told TASS that temporary humanitarian corridors out of Mariupol would be opened from 10am on Monday Moscow time (6pm AEDT) "upon the agreement with the Ukrainian side". Russia's Defence Management Centre chief says "all who lay down their arms are guaranteed safe passage" out of Mariupol. ( Anadolu Agency via ) "Each Mariupol resident and foreign nationals will be guaranteed voluntary choice of any of the humanitarian corridors or the right to stay in the unblocked city," Colonel General Mizintsev told TASS. Ukraine was given until 5am on Monday (1pm AEDT) to respond. What has Ukraine said? Basically, it said no. Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister, Iryna Vereshchuk, told the Ukrainska Pravda news portal there was "no question of any surrender" in Mariupol. "We have already informed the Russian side about this," she said. Ms Vereshchuk later said an agreement had been reached on creating eight humanitarian corridors to evacuate civilians from besieged towns and cities on Monday but the city of Mariupol was not among them. She said efforts to reach Mariupol with humanitarian supplies continued to fail. , M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.
