Ukraine keeps its capital under control, Mariupol residents in distress

Photo: UNIAN

Eleven days after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the capital Kyiv remains under Ukrainian control despite Russian bombing. A powerful explosion shook the city this morning - probably a missile that was shot down by the Ukrainian air defense. The Russian army is advancing with its offensives against the cities of Kharkov and Nikolaev, continues to block the city of Mariupol, has made progress in creating a land corridor to the Crimea.

President Volodymyr Zelensky reiterated his calls for a no-fly zone, but Western leaders said they did not want to make the situation worse. Vladimir Putin has warned that he will view any no-fly zone over Ukraine as a military act. According to him, the sanctions imposed by the West on his country are tantamount to declaring a war. The Russian president said that everything was going according to plan in Ukraine and the work on the destruction of Ukraine's military infrastructure was almost complete.

At the time, a senior Doctors Without Borders official warned that the humanitarian situation in Mariupol was catastrophic and it was vital that civilians be evacuated. "People are having a hard time accessing drinking water, the situation is getting worse every day," he said. Mariupol is considered key in the Russian invasion because it is a port on the Sea of ​​Azov.
