THE SITUATION IN SEVERODONETSK AND MARIUPOL
The Norwegian Refugee Council said up to 12,000 civilians remain trapped and in need of help in the eastern city of Severodonetsk, where Russian troops are advancing.
"I am horrified to see Severodonetsk, the thriving city where we had our operational headquarters, become the epicenter of another chapter in the brutal war in Ukraine," said Jan Egeland, secretary general of the Norwegian Refugee Council, "we fear that up to 12,000 civilians remain trapped in the city's crossfire, without sufficient access to water, food, medicine or electricity. "
The Russian army has advanced deeper into the eastern Ukrainian city of Severodonetsk, fighting is going on street by street.
This was announced by the head of the Lugansk regional military administration Sergiy Gaidai quoted by the Ukrainian media.
After the bombing of an evacuation vehicle near Lysychansk, in which a French journalist was killed and several people were injured, the evacuation from the Lugansk region was halted.
MARIUPOL IN THE PHASE OF ANNEX
- The annexation of Mariupol by the Russians has entered an active phase: the procedure for accepting the documents to obtain the passports of the Federation has started.
This was announced by the adviser of the legitimate mayor of the occupied Ukrainian city Petro Andryushchenko, quoted by Ukrainska Pravda.
"To get the documents, Mariupol residents must first obtain a certificate of registration in Donetsk, and then submit documents for a passport in Novoazovsk to the so-called migration service. Given the state of communication with Donetsk, this is problematic. But we can say that Russia's annexation of Mariupol has moved on to the next stage of implementation, "said Andryushchenko.
Some ships from the port of Mariupol will become part of the commercial fleet of the (self-proclaimed and pro-Russian) People's Republic of Donetsk (Dpr).
This was announced by the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin, reported by the Russian agency Interfax.
"Some of the ships, which were in the port when the special operation began, will be transferred to the jurisdiction of the DPR. Decisions have already been made. These ships will be renamed," said Pushilin.
In this way, the Donetsk People's Republic will be able to form its own commercial fleet. "
