LVIV, 16 March 2022, (TON): Three European prime ministers headed to Kyiv by train in a show of solidarity with Ukraine even as Russian air strikes and shelling hit the capital and invading forces tightened their grip.
At least five people were killed in the renewed bombardments on Kyiv on the 20th day of the Russian assault, authorities said. Buildings were set ablaze and people buried under the rubble.
The city council said “in the besieged port city of Mariupol, about 2,000 cars managed to leave, ferrying civilians to safer areas, and a further 2,000 were waiting to follow.”
Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said “but a convoy with supplies for Mariupol, whose residents have been sheltering from repeated Russian bombardments and are desperate for food and water, was stuck at nearby Berdyansk.”
She accused Russia of lying about fulfilling agreements to help trapped civilians.
