Ukraine, Russia agree to temporary cease-fires in some areas to allow civilian evacuations
VINNYTSIA, Ukraine — The mayor of the Ukrainian port of Mariupol said a Russian siege and hours of shelling that battered rail links and bridges have cut off water, power and food supplies to the southern coastal city.
A port city on the Sea of Azov near Russia’s border, Mariupol was still under Ukrainian control, but Russian troops had encircled it, the deputy mayor, Sergei Orlov,. “The situation is quite critical,” he said, adding that it was difficult to count how many people have died because “we cannot collect all the bodies.”
While larger stores still have some food supplies, smaller shops have run out, the 29-year-old said: “The main feeling now is not fear, it’s anger.”
