This Thursday the evacuations have resumed, with the opening of a total of nine humanitarian corridors in the country. For its part, Russia has accused Ukraine of various attacks in border areas and at sea.
Ukraine is still waiting for the final offensive of Russian troops in the Donbasswhere attempts to capture Mariupol continue and where the authorities admitted that some soldiers surrendered, but not more than a thousand as Russia claims.
According to the Ukrainian military, the Russians “continue to systematically launch missile and bomb attacks against military and civilian infrastructure in the Kharkiv, Donetsk and Zapariya regions.”
In addition, they reinforce the Russian grouping near Severodonetsk, in the Luhansk region, and continue the assault on the port city of Mariupol.
Russia, in turn, has assured that another 134 marines surrendered on Wednesday night in Mariupol, with what would be 1,160 Ukrainian soldiers who had “voluntarily” laid down their weapons in the last few hours.
For its part, the United Kingdom, which publishes daily reports on the situation in Ukraine, has indicated that the cities of Kramatorsk and Kostiantynivka, in the Donetsk region, may be new targets for Russian troops.
The report notes that the Ukrainian forces continue to defend Mariupol, where a significant number of Russian troops and equipment are concentrated.
evacuations resume
The Government of Ukraine announced this Thursday the opening of a total of nine humanitarian corridors in the country, most of them in eastern and southern areas, after having kept them closed due to the intensity of hostilities.
The most problematic is the open corridor from Mariúpol, practically destroyed by the bombings and where, according to local authorities, some 120,000 inhabitants remain.
The Russian Defense Ministry says it receives hundreds of requests every day from Ukrainians who want to evacuate to Russia, while kyiv accuses Moscow of forced deportations of Ukrainians.
According to Ukrainian sources, tens of thousands of people, including many minors, have been forcibly transferred to Russian-controlled territories from Mariupol, although some chose that route as they could not reach the Ukrainian territory controlled by the kyiv authorities.
Tension at the border and at sea
In addition, Russia has again accused Ukraine this Thursday of attack with helicopters border areas between the two countriesincidents that have caused eight injuries of varying severity.
Moscow warned that such attacks could provoke a retaliatory strike on kyiv, which has so far refused to comment on the cross-border incidents.
Meanwhile, the mayor of kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, has asked the inhabitants who left the capital not to return yet, since the Ukrainian capital is on alert and is not entirely safe.
At the same time, Ukraine has claimed to have caused “serious damage” to the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, ‘Moskva’, after attacking him with Neptune anti-ship missiles. Subsequently, she has sunk while being transferred to port.
