KYIV: A fresh attempt by Ukraine’s besieged port city of Mariupol to evacuate its civilians failed again yesterday as Moscow and Kyiv traded blame for ceasefire breaches for a second consecutive day. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, now into an eleventh day, has seen more than 1.5 million people flee the country, in what the UN has called “Europe’s fastest growing refugee crisis since World War II”.
