The Russian military has ordered a ceasefire in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol and for the city of Volnovakha. Civilians should be able to leave the encircled cities. Food is becoming scarce in several cities across the country. News about the war at a glance.

The cessation of fire came into effect at 8 a.m. (CET), the Russian Defense Ministry said, according to the Interfax agency. “The humanitarian corridors and routes out have been agreed with the Ukrainian side,” the ministry said in Moscow. On Saturday night, the mayor of Mariupol, Wadym Boitschenko, expressed the hope that a humanitarian corridor would soon be set up from the city with 440,000 inhabitants and that a ceasefire would be declared. Food and medicine could be brought into the city and important infrastructure repaired.

Zelenskyy: “If Ukraine falls, everyone will fall”

Fighting and war rhetoric also dominated the night before Saturday. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy bitterly reproached NATO for not wanting to get involved militarily in the conflict. In a live broadcast of solidarity demos in Europe, Zelenskyy warned: “If Ukraine falls, everyone will fall.” According to the Ukrainian army, Russian troops continue their offensive with air support and the use of high-precision weapons. The Russian side is trying to encircle the capital Kyiv and the metropolis Kharkiv. In the east, Russian troops plan to create a land corridor from the separatist areas of Luhansk and Donetsk to the Crimean Peninsula, which is annexed by Russia.

It could be this weekend a third round of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine give. However, the conditions for negotiations are difficult: Russia’s President Putin declared in advance that a peace dialogue would only be possible if “all Russian demands” were met. The Ukrainian side vehemently rejects this and calls for an international mediator.

In the current situation, information on the course of the war, shelling and the number of victims by official bodies of the Russian and Ukrainian conflict parties cannot be directly checked by an independent body.
