Despite Russian and Ukrainian officials agreeing to establish “humanitarian corridors” to allow civilians out of some cities, Russia has been accused of shelling evacuation routes as it breaches humanitarian ceasefire for the fourth day. The Ukrainian defence ministry said Russian forces “launched an attack right at the humanitarian corridor” and “did not let children, women and elderly people leave the city.” It comes as the city’s Deputy Mayor said authorities are burying the dead they can reach in mass graves. Serhiy Orlov was speaking to the BBC World Service’s Newshour after the city came under several days of heavy Russian bombardment. He also told the BBC’s Mishal Husain in a separate interview: “Putin wants Ukraine without the Ukrainian people.” Most read in The Sun 'staged' I was a Come Dine With Me contestant - it cost me £600 RADIO BABA Radio 1's Charlie Hedges announces she's pregnant live on air - shocking co-host TOUGH DAY Holly Willoughby breaks down in tears as This Morning forced to go to a break WHAT A BOOB Camilla Cabello accidentally flashes a boob live on The One Show 'i can't win' Vicky Pattison QUITS social media to escape 'toxicity' in emotional post SOAP SWAP EastEnders legend joins Hollyoaks as scheming new supervillain The mayor of Bucha Anatol Fedoruk, said the constant shelling in the region has left residents unable to recover their loved ones leaving dogs to “pull apart the bodies.” He said: “We can’t even gather up the bodies because the shelling from heavy weapons doesn’t stop day or night.

The tragic girl died in Mariupol after her mother was killed in Russian shelling. Ukrainian MP Lesia Vasylenko tweeted the photograph, writing: “This child died of dehydration in Mariupol. “Three times Russia broke the promise of a humanitarian corridor, shooting missiles at civilians.” It comes as: President Volodymyr Zelenskyy vowed the ‘kill ever b*****d’ who was shooting and shelling Ukrainian civiliansZelenskyy is due to address British MPs today from his bunker as he remains defiant in KyivPeace talks continue after Russian issued three demands in an ultimatum – which were rejected by UkraineVladimir Putin has lost yet another general as his troops are reported to have been deserting from the invasion forcePictures show abandoned ‘Z’ tanks and burning Russian trucks as the Russia’s costly, grinding advance continuesCivilians are facing a perilous journey to escape Ukraine – including one boy, 11, who travelled 750 miles on his ownBrit ex-soldiers are heading to the frontline as they vow to help fight back against Russia She included the Twitter handles of Emmanuel Macron, Joe Biden, Boris Johnson, and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen as she asked: “Maybe now is time for #NoFlyZoneOverUkraine?” Ms Vasylenko went on: “Her name is Tanya. She is eight. She lost her mother and was alone. “Eight days without food or water. This is f***ing genocide.” As the fighting in Ukraine continues, thousands trying to flee the war-torn country are becoming caught up in the escalating conflict. Harrowing images of innocent victims of shelling, including children, have been emerging from cities across the country. Earlier today Zhytomyr Mayor Serhiy Sukhomlyn said a bus carrying refugees, including children from Makarov was hit. After walking to Zhytomyr they were later transferred to other buses. At least 18 people were killed in the besieged city of Sumy last night after airstrikes struck civilian areas overnight. In another attack, ten-year-old Anastasia Stoluk was reportedly shot dead by “drunk” Russian soldiers in front of her uncle in the village of Shybene, around 40 miles from Kyiv. A heartbroken dad Sergii Perebeinis, from Irpin, paid an emotional tribute to his wife Tatiana, 43, son Nikita, 18, and little girl Alise, nine who were killed by Russian shelling. They were hit as they fled along an evacuation corridor with their belongings and a green pet carrier containing their two dogs. A total of 406 Ukrainian civilians, including 27 children have died, since the conflict began, the UN Human Rights Agency has said. Ukraine has begun evacuating civilians from Sumy and from Irpin according to Ukrainian officials.
