Attempts to rescue an Irish medical student from Sumy in Ukraine have failed.
Racheal Siyaolu is one of approximately 1,700 international students trapped in the northeastern Ukrainian city of Sumy, as shelling from Russian troops continued after calls for humanitarian corridors were ignored.
Christine Diyaolu, Racheal's sister, said in a statement on social media that the planned evacuation for civilians in Sumy was abandoned after attacks on the city failed to stop.
