WATCH | Russia says Ukraine shells its own civilians; some evacuations in Mariupol

Moscow has turned its focus to Ukraine's south and east after failing to capture the capital Kyiv in a nine-week assault that has flattened cities, killed thousands of civilians and forced more than 5 million to flee abroad.

Russia declared victory in Mariupol on April 21, even as hundreds of Ukrainian troops and civilians took shelter in the Azovstal steel works. There was no comment from Russia or the United Nations on the evacuations. Hundreds of Ukrainians remain inside the steel works, Ukrainian officials say.A Russian missile launched from Crimea destroyed the runway at the main airport in the city of Odesa to the West, said regional governor Maksym Marchenko, but no-one was hurt.

In his speech, Zelenskyy said Russia was “gathering additional forces for new attacks against our military in the east of the country” and “trying to increase pressure in the Donbas”. U.S. President Joe Biden is seeking a $33 billion aid package for Kyiv, including $20 billion for weapons.
