The authorities of the strategic port of

Mariupol

, besieged by

Russian

troops for five days, have announced this morning that they will try a new evacuation of their civilians, after the failed attempt on Saturday by the breaking of the ceasefire by

Russia

.

"The evacuation of civilians will begin at 12:00 noon" [11:00 am, Spanish time NDLR], this municipality in eastern

Ukraine

has stated on Telegram, adding that a humanitarian corridor will be set up to the city of

Zaparojie

, about three hours away after the agreement of a temporary ceasefire, reports the AFP agency.

This Sunday marks the eleventh day since Russia began the invasion of Ukraine.

On Saturday, Vladimir Putin's artillery, considered by himself as the "fist of God", tightens the rope of civilians trapped in

Mariupol and Volvovakha,

populations under siege and bombardment.

Humanitarian corridors

to extricate trapped civilians, especially women and children,

have so far failed

.

The Ukrainian government blames the Russians "for breaking it over and over again" and for making it impossible for any displaced person to flee, and thousands are already waiting to escape the siege.

Mariupol Mayor

Vadim Boichenko

said the port city, which usually has about 450,000 inhabitants, was

under a "lockdown"

without electricity, food, water, gas and transportation.

Pro-Russian separatist forces and the Russian army indicated that it was under siege.

The neighbors began to

take snow from the streets to turn it into water to drink.

The heating has stopped working and the prospects for them are to hide in basements and ration what food they have left.

Russia continues its siege on Kiev

Russian forces continue this Sunday their

attacks against Irpin, Hóstomel, Makariv

, in the Kiev region, where there is "fighting", being "the hottest point" on the Zhitomir highway, 144 kilometers west of Kiev, reported the State Service for Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine.

"Fighting in Irpin, Hóstomel, Makariv," he said on his Telegram account. "The Zhitomir highway area remains the hottest spot," he added.

In the Zhytomyr region, there was an airstrike in Korosten that destroyed 10 houses, killed one person and injured five, including a child.

Five children were rescued from the basement of a burning garage, according to the State Service for Special Communications and Information Protection.

To the north of the Kiev region, in Chernigov, there was fighting on the outskirts, where Russian troops are trying to advance in the direction of Kiev.

On the other hand, Vladimir Putin assured this Saturday that Western sanctions represent

"a declaration of war",

affirming that he would not allow a no-fly zone and that any country or alliance that tried to impose it "

would come into conflict with Russia at that time" .

.

Although he denied that he is going to impose martial law in his country, he is ramping up the crackdown on dissidents and protesters.

There are already

more than 9,000 imprisoned in recent days.
