The war in Ukraine. Digest 8

Another attempt will be made to evacuate civilians from Mariupol. According to city administration information, they managed to agree with the invaders on a silent period from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Three gathering points have been set up in the city, where buses will be waiting for them. It is also possible to leave Mariupol by own car, moving in a column of municipal transport. Representatives of Red Cross will ride at the head of the column. This is the second attempt to organize a "Green Corridor" from the city. The day before, the Russian invaders did not keep the silence, did not stop shooting, and disrupted the evacuation.

The invaders are shelling civilians trying to leave Irpin, Kyiv region. People try to get out by foot over the blown-up bridge, but they are attacked by gunfire.

According to TSN journalists, at least half a dozen mortar shells were fired at intervals of two to three minutes in the morning. One of the bombs fell where the people were. They had already crossed the pass by that time. Four people died, including two children. The day before, Russian invaders blew up one of the railroad tracks, causing two cars of the evacuation train that was supposed to pick up people from Irpin to derail. Consequently, only buses or cars can leave the half-destroyed city.
Russian troops continue shelling residential areas of Bucha in the Kyiv region, the press service of the Bucha city council reports.

People are without electricity, heating, Internet connection and mobile services for several days now. The enemy continues to shell houses and cars, kill civilians and even children, and rob stores. It is impossible to deliver humanitarian supplies - the city is under siege by the enemy. The city council receives about a thousand messages a day asking for food and water. In general, the area around Kyiv has been subjected to widespread destruction by Russian troops in recent days. The invaders bombed Bucha, Irpin, Gostomel, Borodyanka, Vasilkiv, and Vorzel with rockets.
Ukraine asks NATO to close the sky in order to save the lives of civilians.
