Breaking news: On his official site, Vladimir Putin published his personal address to the army of Novorossiya--a humanitarian corridor to the Ukrainian troops who have been striking the cities of Donbass: It is evident that the militia has achieved a serious success in standing up against the use of violence by Kiev, which presents a lethal threat to the people of Donbass and which has already inflicted a great toll among the peaceful civilians. As a result of the actions of the militia, a large number of Ukrainian troops taking part in the military operation not of their own will, but in following orders, have been encircled. I call upon the militia forces to open a humanitarian corridor for the Ukrainian soldiers who are encircled in order to avoid senseless casualties, to give them a possibility to leave without impediment the battle zone, to reunite with their families, to return them to their mothers, wives and children, to provide the wounded in combat with immediate medical assistance. The Russian government, in turn, is ready to provide humanitarian assistance to the people of Donbass who have suffered a humanitarian catastrophe. I call again upon the Ukrainian authorities to stop without delay military operations, to sit at the negotiating table with the representatives of Donbass and to resolve all the accumulated problems exclusively by peaceful means.
