    Im sure but a lot of this stuff can get tangled just from the nature of reporting.

    Who the hell mines an evacuation route for civilians.

    Evacuation route out of Mariupol was mined, Red Cross says
    BBC

    Dominik Stillhart, director of operations for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), has been speaking with BBC Radio 4's Today programme.

    Asked what's gone wrong with so-called humanitarian corridors, he said they had been talking to both sides "for days", but problems remained confirming the detail of any ceasefire agreement - to allow civilians out of bombarded cities.

    Stillhart said the challenge was to get the two parties to an agreement that is "concrete, actionable and precise".

    He added that so far there had only been agreements "in principle", which had immediately broken down because they lacked precision, regarding routes and who can use them.

    Illustrating his point, he said some ICRC staff had tried to get out of Mariupol along an agreed route on Sunday, but soon realised "the road indicated to them was actually mined".

    "That is why it is so important that the two parties have a precise agreement for us then to be able to facilitate it on the ground."
