Thousands of civilians desperately try to flee from Irpin, a city 25 kilometers from Kiev, a capital increasingly besieged by Russian troops. Humanitarian corridors are not being respected, and the attacks are becoming more violent and indiscriminate over residential areas.
One of the harshest images of the day of the war in Ukraine is that of a young couple carrying their baby to a hospital after shelling in Mariupol, the city where it has not been possible to safely evacuate the population. The toilets have tried to revive the baby without success.
Meanwhile, the streets of Mariupol are devastated after several days of Russian offensive. Neighbors crowd at the doors of supermarkets, which no longer have stock. Many take what they can to the shelters where their families await. There they have no water, no light, and they need medicine. In addition, in the coming days, temperatures will drop to 12 degrees below zero. The suspension of evacuations has put hundreds of thousands of civilians at risk.
Russia had given just five hours to open humanitarian corridors, evacuate 215,000 people and allow food and medicine to enter. However, as Ukraine has denounced, Russia has breached the ceasefire From the first moment.
Russian troops besiege Mariupola city with which, if taken, they would take control of the coast of the Sea of Azov, and together with Volnovaja they would unite the south with the Donbas region, which they already control.
