LVIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian authorities announce plans for several evacuation and humanitarian aid delivery routes, with the support of the Red Cross.
The top priority remains freeing people from the besieged city of Mariupol and getting aid to its hungry, thirsty, freezing, and terrified population.
Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk says in a video message that Ukrainian authorities are trying yet again to send aid into Mariupol and bring evacuees out to the city of Zaporizhzhia.
Repeated previous attempts have failed, as aid and rescue convoys were targeted by Russian shelling.
Vereshchuk says buses would be sent today to multiple Kyiv suburbs to bring people to the capital, and to bring aid to those staying behind.
She also announces efforts to create new humanitarian corridors to bring aid to people in areas occupied or under Russian attack around the cities of Kherson in the south, Chernihiv in the north and Kharkiv in the east.
