  • a convoy of International Red CrossMariupol, which was unable to reach Mariupol on Friday, will try again on Saturday to move to the port city to evacuate civilians gripped by a dramatic humanitarian situation.
  • Russian troops lose their grip on Kiev and regroup to focus on the east of the country, where they will face an experienced Ukrainian army, suggesting conflict “long term”, which could take months, the Pentagon warned. Washington plans to provide another $300 million in military aid to Ukraine.
  • an oil depot Belgorod, in Russia, was attacked by Ukrainian helicopters on Friday, according to the governor of the region; a move that will weigh on talks between the two countries, the Kremlin spokesman warned.
