More than 100 evacuees, many who have escaped the Mariupol steelworks have arrived in Ukrainian-held Zaporizhzhia.
Women and children were rescued from site in the shattered southern port city at the weekend. But, Ukraine‘s deputy prime minister says, hundreds of civilians remain trapped under the rubble of the steelworks.
Meanwhile, a Ukrainian commander says Russian forces have launched a “powerful assault” on the industrial site, the last hold-out of Ukrainian defenders.
Strikes are however reported on the western Ukrainian city of Lviv while UK PM Boris Johnson addresses Ukraine’s parliament and gives details of more military funding.
