Ukraine and Russia have agreed on humanitarian corridors to evacuate thousands of civilians. Ukrainians are fleeing the eastern Donbas region, which has been partially controlled by Russian-backed separatists since 2014. Satellite images show a convoy of hundreds of Russian military vehicles heading for Donbas – making the evacuation of civilians more urgent.

Eastern regions of Ukraine are bracing for a new Russian offensive, as Ukrainian officials say Russia has fired rockets that destroyed the airport in Dnipro, the country’s fourth largest city. On Telegram, the governor of Dnipropetrovsk, Valentyn Reznichenko, said that the airport itself was destroyed, as well as nearby infrastructure.

More than 100 thousand people are believed trapped in the city of Mariupol, which has been under intense bombardment for weeks. Local officials have said as many as 5,000 civilians may have been killed.
