UKRAINE WAR: UKRAINE SENDS BUSES TO MARIUPOL FOR RESCUE EFFORT

Russian forces have been besieging Mariupol for weeks

Fresh efforts are under way to evacuate civilians trapped by Russian forces in
the Ukrainian city of Mariupol.

Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said a convoy of 45 Ukrainian
buses was on its way to the besieged southern city.

She said the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) had confirmed that
Russia had agreed to open a humanitarian corridor to Mariupol.

Tens of thousands of civilians remain there after weeks of bombardment.

Earlier, the Russian defence ministry said the United Nations refugee agency and
the Red Cross would assist in the evacuation of civilians, which would begin at
10:00 local time (08:00 BST).

It said a ceasefire would allow people to travel westwards to Zaporizhzhia via
the Russian-controlled port of Berdyansk.



A spokesperson for the ICRC said its teams were ready to help get civilians out
of Mariupol from Friday, but only if all parties agreed on the terms.

"It's desperately important that this operation takes place. The lives of tens
of thousands of people in Mariupol depend on it," the spokesperson added.



The BBC has spoken to people who have managed to leave the besieged port city in
the last few weeks.

All of them described a city in ruins, with entire districts completely
flattened.

Diana Yalovets, a 23-year-old student, said: "As we tried to get out, we needed
to cross the city centre. It was scary to see destroyed streets and buildings.

"My school was destroyed. It's painful to see your once beautiful city this way.



"Mariupol was a safe city. We loved to walk near the sea. There was a park, and
it was an amazing place just to sit and talk. I just can't believe we lost
everything we had."

Although some residents have escaped, all previous attempts to establish a
ceasefire in Mariupol have collapsed amid accusations of bad faith from both
sides.

Russia has also been accused of forcibly relocating thousands of civilians to
Russia or Russian-controlled areas.

Capturing the city would give Russia control of the Azov Sea coastline between
Russia and Crimea.

The announcement of a truce follows a telephone call on Tuesday between Russian
President Vladimir Putin and his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron.

During the conversation, Mr Putin said that shelling of Mariupol would not end
until Ukrainian troops surrendered.
