Ukraine said a convoy of 45 buses was on its way to the battered city of Mariupol Thursday in an attempt to deliver humanitarian aid and evacuate civilians. The move comes after Russia declared a local ceasefire to allow a humanitarian corridor to be established there – but not everyone is convinced.
The south-eastern Ukrainian port on the Sea of Azov has been under siege by Russian troops since the early days of the Russian offensive and has been the target of almost constant shelling in recent weeks.
