Civilians evacuated from Mariupol, Ukraine

 

Around 100 civilians evacuated from Mariupol steel plant to Ukraine

Russia's defence ministry said on Sunday its missiles had destroyed a runway and a hangar with foreign weapons at a military airfield near the Ukrainian city of Odesa. The ministry also said its air defence systems had shot down two Ukrainian Su-24m bombers over the Kharkiv region.

Ukraine and UN are working on the evacuation of other civilians from the plant in Mariupo also.

Ukraine's military said in a bulletin on Sunday that Russian forces were fighting to push north from Kherson to the cities of Mykolayiv and Kryvyi Rih.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has pledged to continue to support Ukraine with money, aid and also weapons, saying a pacifist approach to the war is "outdated."
