Russian and Ukrainian negotiators have made limited progress at ceasefire talks but have agreed on the need for humanitarian corridors to evacuate civilians.

鈥淚 don鈥檛 know when my building is going to be targeted. For us, what we see in the media gives us hope. But we had a bombing a few hours ago and I can鈥檛 believe how there could be such a massive explosion after peace talks (agreed) a humanitarian corridor.鈥�

鈥淚 tried my best to calm (students) down and to believe in the decisions of the authorities 鈥� they鈥檝e got into shelters and everything 鈥� but people are tired of hearing that. The (Russians) have intensified the attacks. I鈥檓 afraid. It鈥檚 getting scarier every single day. At this point I can鈥檛 tell people to calm down.鈥�
