Ukraine war: Russian general ‘killed near Kharkiv’, Ukrainian intelligence claims

Ukraine’s military intelligence said on Tuesday that Ukrainian forces have killed a Russian general near the besieged city of Kharkiv. The claims have not been confirmed.

Russian officials said they planned to carry out a limited cease-fire on Tuesday to allow civilians to safely flee besieged Ukrainian cities.

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy’s office said those plans can be believed only if a safe evacuation begins.

The UN humanitarian chief urged safe passage for people to go “in the direction they choose.”

More details to follow on Tuesday’s developments.
