1 M+ children fled Ukraine since start of Russian invasion- UNICEF
By Nidz Godino
"This attack, if confirmed, underscores horrific toll this war is exacting on Ukraine's children and families," United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) Executive Director Catherine Russell said more than 1 million children have fled Ukraine to neighboring countries in less than two weeks since Russia started its invasion of Ukraine.
At least 37 children had been killed and 50 injured, Russell said in a statement.
Russell was "horrified" by the reported attack on children's hospital in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, where officials said Russian air strike buried patients under rubble despite an agreed ceasefire.
The bombing, which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called an "atrocity," took place despite an agreed ceasefire to enable thousands of civilians trapped in the city to escape.
Mariupol city council said hospital had been hit several times by an air strike, causing "colossal" destruction. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said "Russian forces do not fire on civilian targets."
More than 2 million people have fled Ukraine since Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered invasion on Feb. 24. Moscow calls its action "special military operation" to disarm its neighbor and dislodge leaders it calls "neo-Nazis."
Most of those who fled are women and children, as able-bodied men have been ordered by the Kyiv government to stay home to fight.
The war has swiftly cast Russia into economic isolation as well as drawing almost universal international condemnation. The United States earlier banned imports of Russian oil, while Western companies are rapidly pulling out of Russian market.
The Ukrainian families who spend their nights sheltering from the threat of Russian bombs in metro stations are adapting to life underground and so are their kids.
Many of Kyiv's fathers have joined the army or territorial defense forces, leaving thousands of women to raise young children alone, and some of them spend their nights more than 70 meters under the city's streets.
Already, some new lives have begun under metro system's dull fluorescent lights in the concrete tunnels of some of the deepest stations in the world, designed during the Cold War to double as bomb shelters.
According to the UN Population Fund, over the last weekend the second weekend since Russian invasion began 81 babies were born in Kyiv's bunkers and makeshift bomb shelters, five of them in metro stations.
And while newborns were transferred to hospital, as night falls and citizens gather in the Dorohozhychi metro stop to sleep in metro corridors, young kids run and scream among them.
Five people were killed, including a family of four with two adolescent kids, and this recent trauma explains in part why, five days later, so many still crowd into the tunnels at night.
Desperate civilians began fleeing besieged Ukrainian city through humanitarian corridor opened by Russia, as number of refugees to flee the country hit more than two million.
The exodus from Sumy, where 21 people were killed in Russian air strikes late Monday, comes despite Kyiv branding Moscow's renewed offer of escape routes from several cities as a publicity stunt, since many lead straight to Russia or its ally Belarus.
The UN called for evacuees to be allowed to leave in whichever direction they choose, after horrific scenes in which civilians have been shelled as they tried to escape, while thousands remain trapped in dire conditions.
The war has sparked Europe's largest refugee crisis since World War II, with more than two million people having crossed Ukraine's borders, according to the United Nations.
The West has hit back with sanctions on Russia that have reverberated around global economy, but they have failed to dissuade Putin from pushing on with his assault.
Russia warned it could cut Europe's gas supplies in revenge for sanctions and said any ban by Western allies on Russian oil imports would have "catastrophic consequences".
The Ukrainian military said nearly two weeks into the war, that Russia was ramping up its troops and equipment around main conflict zones, as it sought to encircle capital Kyiv.
Zelensky denounced what he called unkept promises of the West to protect his country from Russian attacks.
"It's been 13 days we've been hearing promises, 13 days we've been told we'll be helped in the air, that there will be planes," Zelensky said on a video broadcast on Telegram.
"But the responsibility for that rests also on those who were not capable to take decision in the West for 13 days," he added… "on those who have not secured Ukrainian skies from Russian assassins."
Evacuations had begun in Sumy, near Russian border and 350 kilometres (218 miles) east of Kyiv, the interim chief of the Poltava region, Dmitry Lunin, said.
Dozens of buses had already left in the direction of Lokhvytsia, 150 kilometres to the southwest, Lunin said. Officials said the corridor is designed to evacuate civilians, including Chinese, Indians and other foreigners.
The evacuation came after 21 people, including two children, were killed in air strikes in Sumy on Monday, a local official said.
"Enemy planes insidiously attacked apartment buildings," Ukrainian rescue services said on Telegram.
Russia's initial offer of humanitarian corridors led nowhere, but it floated the idea again, with the defense ministry saying it would open them from 0700 GMT Tuesday, subject to Ukraine's approval.
It listed routes from Kyiv as well as Sumy, the besieged port city of Mariupol, and Ukraine's devastated second city of Kharkiv.
But Zelensky accused Russia of reneging on previous escape route agreements and trying to stop people such as by planting explosives on roads and destroying buses.
"I do not know many Ukrainians who want to go to Russia," Zelensky said in a video posted on Telegram.
Zelensky, hailed as hero by many Western governments, said he was "staying in Kyiv... I'm not afraid" and that he would continue to negotiate with Russia to reach peace deal.
Three previous rounds of talks have made little progress on even achieving ceasefire.
The Ukrainian leader was due to address British parliament .
Despite slow start and large Russian column being stalled outside Kyiv, Moscow's forces have slowly advanced, particularly in the east and south.
Tens of thousands of people remain trapped without water or electricity in brutal conditions in the besieged Azov Sea port of Mariupol, humanitarian agencies say.
Terrified civilians have also been packing trains out of the Black Sea port of Odessa amid fears of Russian assault.
Journalists witnessed thousands of civilians fleeing fighting via an unofficial escape route from Irpin, a suburb west of Kyiv, towards capital.
One Ukrainian paratrooper told of "hand-to-hand" combat in Irpin, saying "we are trying to push Russian soldiers out, but I don't know if we'll be fully able to do it".
Ukrainian forces had repulsed Russian attack on the city of Izium in the Kharkiv region, and outgunned troops have been trying to hold back Russian push up from the east and south in an attempt to encircle Kyiv.
A Russian military spokesman said troops had disabled military airfield at Jitomir, while separatist forces in Luhansk and Donetsk regions were making gains.
Faced with international condemnation, Putin has equated sanctions with declaration of war and put nuclear forces on alert.
Putin has pledged "denazification" of Ukraine and demands its "neutralization" and demilitarization.
Putin said earlier however, he will not send conscripts or reservists to fight in the conflict.
Despite harsh punishments for those voicing dissent, protests in Russia against Ukraine invasion have continued, with more than 10,000 people arrested since it began.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak warned that a ban on Russian oil imports would have "catastrophic" consequences for prices that have already hit 14-year highs.
He added that in retaliation for the halt on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline project, Russia could stop supplies via Nord Stream 1 pipeline.
Western allies fear effect of an oil ban on their own economies, with US President Joe Biden's spokeswoman saying after talks with European leaders that no decision had been taken.
But they have responded to the invasion with tough sanctions and poured military equipment into Ukraine, while steering clear of the no-fly zone demanded by Zelensky, fearing a wider war with Russia.
An international legion of volunteers has also descended on Ukraine to fight Russians.
The Pentagon said earlier Moscow was on recruiting mission for its own foreign fighters , Syrians who fought for President Bashar al-Assad.
"We do believe that the accounts of them, Russians seeking Syrian fighters to augment their forces in Ukraine, we believe there's truth to that," Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told reporters.
The World Bank on Monday approved an additional $489-million package in support for Ukraine, to be made available immediately and dubbed "Financing of Recovery from Economic Emergency in Ukraine," or "FREE Ukraine."
The rickety plank is barely 50 centimeters wide and half submerged in icy water, but already 10,000 people have used it to cross a river and flee Russian bombardment.
Moving ever closer behind citizens of Irpin come Russian tanks and guns, and ahead of them over this last crowded obstacle lies road into Kyiv, still in Ukrainian hands.
The huge concrete bridge dominating the scene has already been demolished by Ukrainian forces to slow Russian advance, but terrified civilians still pour over the plank.
Earlier Russian army declared it would hold ceasefire to allow civilians to flee some of the cities its invasion force is targeting but Ukraine rejected the idea.
In any case, the citizens of Irpin are trying to get into Ukrainian capital for safety, not to follow Moscow-approved escape routes north into Belarus or Russia.
At the weekend, several of those fleeing were killed at the bridge by shells fired from the Russian side, but still more civilians make the perilous trip.
Everything and everyone goes over the plank, women, babies, dogs, push chairs, wheeled suitcases, bikes, the wounded and even corpses rolled in carpets.
Some of the wreckage is still smoking after recent shell impacts, but once past it, Vasyl Povoroznyuk is waiting with a white van to lend a hand.
The 49-year-old military chaplain has volunteered to shuttle refugees from exposed frontline two kilometers (1.2 miles) to a safer area where ambulances and paramedics await wounded.
Despite shelling, evacuees are arriving by the hundreds and some are in very poor condition.
In a few minutes, the yellow buses are there as well as the mayor of Irpin, Oleksandr Markushyn, who is organizing this unofficial "humanitarian corridor" as best he can, uncoordinated with enemy forces.
"Here nobody talked about a 'green corridor', I think because Irpin is in the middle of a battle and has no intention of surrendering," the young mayor says.
He jumps from bus to bus with a Kalashnikov in hand and a helmet on his head, trying his best to reassure his people.
Already 10,000 people have left the dormitory suburbs with the high towers now collapsed for five days.
"There are still 10,000 to evacuate, probably in two or three days," estimates the mayor, before adding, "and as many who refuse to leave".
