SEVERODONETSK (Ukraine) — Civilians in eastern Ukraine struggled to evacuate Friday (April 8 ) as Russia redirects its firepower, with president Volodymyr Zelenskiy warning of 'even more horrific' devastation being uncovered around the capital.

"Russia's lies are no match for the undeniable evidence of what is happening in Ukraine," US president Joe Biden said, calling Russia's actions in the country"an outrage to our common humanity".

"At least some of these forces will be transferred to east Ukraine to fight in the Donbas," it added, noting that many troops would need"significant replenishment" and a mass redeployment would take at least a week. And in Donetsk, the head of the regional military administration Pavlo Kyrylenko said three evacuation trains had been temporarily blocked after a Russian airstrike on an overpass by a station."There is no secret — the battle for Donbas will be decisive. What we have already experienced, all this horror, it can multiply," warned Mr Gaiday.

Ukraine's prosecutor general Iryna Venediktova said Thursday that 26 bodies had been recovered from two destroyed apartment buildings so far. On Thursday, the EU approved an embargo on Russian coal and the closing of its ports to Russian vessels as part of a"very substantial" new round of sanctions that also includes an export ban and new measures against Russian banks.
