KYIV, Ukraine — The Ukraine port city of Mariupol, which is surrounded by Russian troops, says it will begin efforts to evacuate its civilian population, after earlier efforts were scuppered by ceasefire violations.
“From 12:00 p.m. the evacuation of the civilian population begins,” city officials say in a statement, which says a ceasefire was agreed upon with Russian-led forces surrounding the city.
