War in Ukraine: Zelenskyy slams ‘deliberate murder’ by Russian forces as cities pounded
Euronews says Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said late on Sunday that Ukraine will not forgive Russia for all the victims and suffering the war it started had caused.
Russian media reports on Monday say humanitarian corridors and local ceasefires will be implemented on Monday to allow civilians to be evacuated from several cities. A second attempt to evacuate civilians from besieged Mariupol failed on Sunday due to continued Russian shelling.
The latest call between Vladimir Putin and Emmanuel Macron on Sunday focused primarily on the safety of Ukraine’s nuclear plants. The international energy agency the IAEA has expressed serious concern as they fall into Russian hands.
Thousands of people in Russia were arrested on Sunday for protesting against the invasion.
