UKRAINE-RUSSIA LATEST: • Russia's blockade of Ukrainian ports is provoking a food crisis, President Zelenskyy says • Mariupol officials warn of humanitarian crisis
Moscow will be"forced to take retaliatory steps," if Finland joins NATO, Russia's foreign minister said Saturday.
Mariupol officials are warning that a humanitarian crisis is developing in the city, which is now almost entirely occupied by Russian forces. Andryushchenko added that as many as 170,000 Mariupol residents are without power and have no way to flee the area. “Therefore, we appeal to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine to use all international instruments to save Ukrainian defenders and conduct an extraction operation. We will fight for the lives of our military, just as they are defending our city,”Ukraine’s president said very difficult talks were underway on evacuating “a large number” of wounded soldiers from a besieged steelworks in the strategic southeastern port of Mariupol in return for the release of Russian prisoners of war.
