LONDON: Russia on Sunday called on Ukrainian forces to lay down their arms in the eastern port city of Mariupol where Moscow said a"terrible humanitarian catastrophe" was unfolding.

"A terrible humanitarian catastrophe has developed," Mizintsev said."All who lay down their arms are guaranteed safe passage out of Mariupol.". Many of its 400,000 residents remain trapped in the city with little if any food, water and power. Ukraine has until 5am Moscow time to respond to the offer on humanitarian corridors and laying down arms, he said.Mizintsev, without providing evidence, said that Ukrainian"bandits","neo-Nazis" and nationalists had engaged in"mass terror" and gone on a killing spree in the city.

Mizintsev said Russia was not using heavy weapons in Mariupol. He said Russia had evacuated 59,304 people out of the city but that 130,000 civilians remained as effective hostages there. He said 330,686 people had been evacuated from Ukraine by Russia since the start of the"operation".
