The two cities have been under attack for days, producing scenes of desperation, destruction and death that mirrored those elsewhere from the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The struggle to enforce the cease-fire showed the fragility of efforts to stop fighting across Ukraine as the number of people fleeing the country reached 1.4 million on the 10th day after Russian forces invaded its neigbor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are doing everything on our part to make the agreement work,\u201d President Volodymyr Zelenskyy\u2019s said. \u201cThis is one of the main tasks for today.

Meanwhile, Moscow outlet RIA Novosti carried a Russian defense ministry claim that the firing came from inside both cities against Russian positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mariupol had been the scene of growing misery in recent days amid an assault that knocked out power and most phone service and raised the prospect of food and water shortages for hundreds of thousands of people in freezing weather. Pharmacies are out of medicine, Doctors Without Borders said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A top official in Mariupol, Pavlo Kirilenko, the head of the Donetsk military-civil administration that includes the city, had said the humanitarian corridor would extend to Zaporizhzhia, 226 kilometers (140 miles) away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In comments carried on Ukrainian television, Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boychenko said thousands of people had gathered for safe passage out of the city and buses were departing when shelling began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe value the life of every inhabitant of Mariupol and we cannot risk it, so we stopped the evacuation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before Russia announced the limited cease-fire, Ukraine had urged Moscow to create humanitarian corridors to allow children, women and the older adults to flee the fighting, calling them \u201cquestion No. 1.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Saturday asserted that \u201cthe Ukrainian side, the most interested side here, it would seem, is constantly making up various pretexts to delay the beginning of another meeting.\u201d He said Russia was ready for a third round of talks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diplomatic efforts continued as U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Poland to meet with the prime minister and foreign minister, a day after attending a NATO meeting in Brussels in which the alliance pledged to step up support for eastern flank members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aeroflot, Russia\u2019s flagship state-owned airline, announced that it plans to halt all international flights. except to Belarus, starting Tuesday in the wake of Western sanctions imposed on Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While a vast Russian armored column threatening Ukraine\u2019s capital remained stalled outside Kyiv, the new shelling in Mariupol showed Russia\u2019s determination to cut Ukraine off from access to the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, further damaging the country\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the shelling, presidential adviser Oleksiy Arestovich said the situation was generally quiet Saturday and Russian forces \u201chave not taken active actions since the morning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukraine\u2019s president has lashed out at NATO for refusing to impose a no-fly zone over his country, warning that \u201call the people who die from this day forward will also die because of you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NATO has said a <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-ukraine-volodymyr-zelenskyy-technology-business-western-europe-feb816497f0f538b4b17ca7583cb072a\">no-fly zone<\/a>, which would bar all unauthorized aircraft from flying over Ukraine, could provoke widespread war in Europe with nuclear-armed Russia. But as the United States and other NATO members send weapons for Kyiv and more than 1 million refugees spill through the continent, the conflict is already drawing in countries far beyond Ukraine\u2019s borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russia continues to <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-ukraine-vladimir-putin-business-europe-germany-d15ca4ed450d9ca67f43d3b1ac27294d\">crack down on independent media<\/a> reporting on the war, also blocking Facebook and Twitter, and more outlets say they are pausing their work inside the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And in a warning of a hunger crisis yet to come, the U.N. World Food Program has said millions of people inside Ukraine, a major global wheat supplier, will need food aid \u201cimmediately.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukraine\u2019s president was set to brief U.S. senators Saturday by video conference as Congress considers a request for $10 billion in emergency funding for humanitarian aid and security needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a video message to antiwar protesters in several European cities, Zelenskyy appealed for help. \u201cIf we fall, you will fall,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.N. Security Council scheduled an open meeting for Monday on the worsening humanitarian situation. The United Nations estimates that 12 million people in Ukraine and 4 million fleeing to neighboring countries in the coming months will need humanitarian aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At least 351 civilians have been confirmed killed since Russia\u2019s invasion on Feb. 24, but the true number is probably much higher, the U.N. human rights office has said. Russia said Wednesday 498 of its troops had been killed and has not updated since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As homes in the northern city of Chernihiv burned from what locals blamed on the Russian shelling that\u2019s targeted Ukraine\u2019s urban areas from the start, one resident accused Europe of merely looking on. \u201cWe wanted to join NATO and the EU and this is the price we are paying, and NATO cannot protect us,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kyiv\u2019s central train station remained crowded with people desperate to flee. \u201cPeople just want to live,\u201d one woman, Ksenia, said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elsewhere in the capital, in a sign of nerves near breaking point, two people on a sidewalk froze in their tracks at the sound of a sharp bang.
