A 3-month-old baby was among six people Saturday killed when Russia fired cruise missiles at the Black Sea port city of Odesa, Ukrainian officials said.

"Nothing is sacred," Yermak wrote."Evil will be punished."

"We want to see peaceful skies, we want to breathe in fresh air," one woman in the video said."You have simply no idea what it means for us to simply eat, drink some sweetened tea. For us, it is already happiness." While British officials said the Russians hadn't gained significant new ground, Ukrainian officials announced a nationwide curfew ahead of Easter Sunday, a sign of the war's disruption and threat to the entire country.

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported to Putin on Thursday that the whole of Mariupol, with the exception of Azovstal, had been"liberated" by the Russians. At the time, Putin ordered him not to send Russian troops into the plant but instead to block off the facility, an apparent attempt to starve out the Ukrainians and force them to surrender.

One young girl says she and her relatives"haven't seen neither the sky, nor the sun" since they left home on Feb. 27. Like previous plans to get civilians out of the city, this one failed. Petro Andryushchenko, an adviser to the Mariupol's mayor, said Russian forces did not allow Ukrainian-organized buses to take residents to Zaporizhzhia, a city 227 kilometers to the northwest.
