Russian forces shelled along a humanitarian corridor today, wounding four children who were among the civilians being evacuated, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says in his nighttime video address to the nation.
He says the shelling took place in the Zaporizhzhia region, the initial destination of those fleeing Mariupol.
The Ukrainian government said that about 3,000 people from Mariupol were evacuated on Monday.
Zelensky says he spoke with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte and French President Emmanual Macron to coordinate their positions before Western leaders meet on Thursday.
“Our position will be expressed and will be expressed strongly, believe me,” Zelensky says.
