As per a report, the officials have said that Russia is ready to 'bombard cities into submission.'Speaking to CNN, a senior western intelligence official said, "The heavier weapons are not just heavier in there in the weight, they're also heavier in terms of the damage that they can inflict. And they're far less discriminant. So, more casualties.” Meanwhile, as tensions escalate, Russia's defence ministry said that Moscow has declared a partial ceasefire on Saturday to allow humanitarian corridors out of the Ukrainian cities of Mariupol and Volnovakha.
