Ukraine and Russia agree on evacuation corridors, as US sanctions oligarchs

"We continue to impose very severe economic sanctions on Putin and all those folks around him, choking off access to technology as well as cutting off access to global financial institutions," US President Joe Biden said.Ukrainian soldiers and civilians kept up their resistance to the Russian onslaught. The capital Kyiv and other main cities remained in their hands on Thursday evening.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said earlier that a way out of war could be found if Russia treated Ukraine on an equal footing and came to talks with a will to negotiate in good faith. Western military analysts believe a Russian battle plan that aimed for a swift advance and capture of Kyiv has faltered, forcing commanders to change tactics.

But the US official said Washington believed there was still fighting and it was not ready to say it had fallen.Russia has acknowledged nearly 500 of its soldiers killed since Putin sent his troops over the border on Feb 24. Ukraine says it has killed nearly 9,000, though this cannot be confirmed. Earlier, regional governor Viacheslav Chaus said at least nine people had been killed in an air strike that hit homes and two schools.War of words over Ukraine at UN as nuclear fears grow
