After the exchange of accusations between Russia and Ukraine for violations of the agreed temporary ceasefire, Kiev announced on March 6 the start of a second attempt to evacuate civilians from Mariupol. The city is surrounded by Russian troops who are increasing their siege towards different locations in the country in the face of a resisting Ukrainian Army.
Surrounded by Russian troops, with water shortages, without gas or electricity, the inhabitants of Mariupol are trying for the second day to leave the strategic city in southeastern Ukraine, when the country is experiencing the eleventh day of the war launched by Moscow.
Local authorities are trying to get the trapped residents out, while the Russian Army maintains pressure on the south of the country and towards Kiev, the capital and strategic point that houses the government and where Kremlin troops hope to enter. The Kremlin has indicated that its objective is “the leadership in power” in Ukraine.
The fighting is spreading through various locations in the country despite the fact that the Ukrainian and Russian delegations are holding a third round of talks scheduled in Belarus for Monday, March 7.
These are the main news of the day:
- 06:19 (BOG) Ukrainian security officials report that Russia’s war command is turning its attention to the south of the country to cut off Ukraine’s access to the Black Sea.
- 6:00 (BOG) US considers sending planes to Poland
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced that his government is evaluating sending combat aircraft to Poland as a way to fill the void of aircraft that Warsaw delivers to Ukraine.
“We are now actively looking at the question of the planes that Poland can supply to Ukraine and looking at how we could fill (the gap) if Poland decides to supply those planes (…) I can’t talk about a timeline, but I can say we are looking at it. very, very actively,” Blinken said.
His remarks came during his visit to Moldova on Sunday, after he met on Saturday with the authorities of Poland, a NATO member nation that shares a border with Ukraine.
The alliance is also reinforcing its presence on the eastern flank in response to Russia’s invasion of its neighboring country.

With the number of people forced to leave their country rising as the siege by Russian troops rises, Grandi said the exodus from Ukraine is Europe’s fastest-growing refugee crisis, something not seen since the 1990s. 1940.
