Authorities in Mariupol have accused Russian forces of violating a ceasefire at the city's Azovstal steel works and firing at a car involved in evacuation efforts, killing one Ukrainian fighter and wounding six others.
"During the ceasefire on the territory of the Azovstal plant a car was hit by Russians using an anti-tank guided weapon. This car was moving towards civilians in order to evacuate them from the plant," Mariupol city council said in an online post.
"As a result of the shelling, 1 fighter was killed and 6 were wounded. The enemy continues to violate all agreements and fails to adhere to security guarantees for the evacuation of civilians."
Russia did not immediately comment on the council's statement. It denies targeting civilians.
Hundreds of civilians are still thought to be trapped in the devastated southern city's sprawling steel plant, where a third official evacuation mission was due to get underway on Friday.
United Nations chief Antonio Guterres said it was vital that humanitarian workers "do all we can to get people out of these hellscapes".

Unanimous UN Security Council declaration backs 'peaceful' Ukraine solution
The UN Security Council on Friday unanimously adopted its first declaration on Ukraine since Russia invaded in February, backing the Secretary-General's efforts to find a "peaceful solution" to the war.
The declaration, drafted by Norway and Mexico and obtained by AFP, stopped short of supporting a mediation effort by Antonio Guterres, as was laid out in an earlier version of the text.
"The Security Council expresses deep concern regarding the maintenance of peace and security of Ukraine," the text adopted Friday said.
The 15-member council also "recalls that all Member States have undertaken, under the Charter of the United Nations, the obligation to settle their international disputes by peaceful means."

Russian road signs are being erected in Mariupol and a major clean-up effort is under way as the Kremlin plans to place the city at the centrepiece of its Victory Day celebrations.
Photos emerging from the bombed out city on Ukraine's southern coastline show workers in orange overalls pulling down Ukrainian language road signs and erecting Russian ones in their place.

Russia 'thinks it can escape war crime prosecutions'
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that Russia thinks it can escape prosecutions for war crimes because of the threat of a nuclear attack.
"They do not believe that they can be made responsible for the war crimes because they have the power of the nuclear state", Zelensky, speaking through a translator, told an event by Chatham House think tank.
"This is the 72nd day of the fully-fledged war and we can see no end of it yet and we cannot feel any willingness of the Russian side to end it."

Biden talks with Zelensky, as Scholz urged to visit Kyiv on symbolic day
US President Joe Biden and other G7 leaders will hold talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in a virtual meeting on Sunday, a spokesman for the White House's National Security Council has confirmed.
It comes as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called on German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Friday to take a "powerful step" and visit Kyiv on May 9, the date when Russia commemorates the Soviet Union's victory in World War Two.
Speaking via a translator to Britain's Chatham House think tank, Mr Zelensky offered the invitation to Scholz after the two countries' relations were strained when the German president was stopped from visiting Kyiv last month.
"He's invited, the invitation is open, it has been for some time now," Zelensky said on a video call.
"He's invited to come to Ukraine, he can make this very powerful political step to come here on the 9th of May, to Kyiv. I am not explaining the significance, I think you're cultured enough to understand why."

Ukraine announces new prisoner exchange with Russia
Russia has handed over 41 people, including 28 military, in a prisoner exchange with Ukraine, Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said on Friday.
Vereshchuk wrote on the Telegram messaging app that it was "especially gratifying" that a senior representative of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine was among those returned to Ukraine.

Not all bridges destroyed with Russia, says Zelensky
Volodymyr Zelensky has said not all bridges between Ukraine and Russia are yet "destroyed", figuratively speaking, but talks can only take place if Moscow withdraws to the positions it held on February 23.
Speaking at an event hosted by the Chatham House think tank, the Ukrainian president said he was not elected to lead "a mini-Ukraine of some kind".
He said arrangements were needed for talks to "stop the killing", with "diplomatic channels" used to regain Ukraine's territories.
The pre-requisite for this would be "regaining the situation as of February 23", he said. "They have to fall back... In that situation we will be able to start discussing things normally."
He said that "despite the fact that they are destroying all our bridges, I think not all the bridges are yet destroyed".

Countries vow to boost food security amid Ukraine war
The European Union, the United States and more than two dozen other countries have vowed to shore up global food security in a joint statement to the World Trade Organisation.
Voicing alarm at the "global effects on food security" triggered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, they stressed "the urgency and importance of maintaining open and predictable agricultural markets and trade".
That would "ensure the continued flow of food, as well as products, services and inputs essential for agricultural and food production and supply chains", they added.
The United Nations has warned the war and economic sanctions on Moscow have disrupted global food supplies, sparking fears of widespread hunger.
Russia and Ukraine, whose vast grain-growing regions are among the world's main breadbaskets, account for a huge share of the globe's exports in several major commodities, including wheat, vegetable oil and corn. Together, they account for 30 percent of the global wheat trade.

Putin to send 'doomsday' warning to West
President Vladimir Putin will send a "doomsday" warning to the West when he leads celebrations on Monday marking the 77th anniversary of the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany, brandishing Russia's vast firepower while its forces fight on in Ukraine.
Defiant in the face of deep Western isolation since he ordered the invasion of Russia's neighbour, Putin will speak on Red Square before a parade of troops, tanks, rockets and intercontinental ballistic missiles.
A fly-past over St Basil's Cathedral will include supersonic fighters, Tu-160 strategic bombers and, for the first time since 2010, the Il-80 "doomsday" command plane, which would carry Russia's top brass in the event of a nuclear war, the Defence Ministry said.
In that scenario, the Il-80 is designed to become the roaming command centre for the Russian president. It is packed with technology but specific details are Russian state secrets.
The 69-year-old Kremlin leader has repeatedly likened the war in Ukraine to the challenge the Soviet Union faced when Adolf Hitler's Nazis invaded in 1941.

War would be over if world was ‘as courageous as Ukraine and Britain’, says Zelensky
Peace would have already been restored in Ukraine if other world leaders were as courageous as Boris Johnson, Volodymyr Zelensky has said.
“If everyone in the world - or at least the vast majority - were steadfast and courageous leaders as Ukraine, as Britain, I am sure we would have already ended this war and restored peace throughout our liberated territory for all our people,” the Ukrainian president said in an overnight address.
The Prime Minister became the first western leader to address the parliament in Kyiv earlier this week, where he was given numerous standing ovations for his steadfast support for the Ukrainian cause.
Last month, Mr Johnson also made a surprise visit to Kyiv where he walked the streets with Mr Zelensky, in a move Downing Street described as a "show of solidarity".

Ukraine says new Mariupol evacuation has begun, despite reports of fighting
Ukraine said a new attempt had begun on Friday to evacuate scores of civilians trapped in a ruined steel works in the city of Mariupol, after bloody fighting with Russian forces thwarted efforts to bring them to safety the previous day.
Mariupol, a strategic southern port on the Azov Sea, has endured the most destructive siege of the 10-week-old war, and the sprawling Soviet-era Azovstal steel plant is the last part of the city still in the hands of holdout Ukrainian fighters.
UN-brokered evacuations of some of the hundreds of civilians who had taken shelter in the plant's network of tunnels and bunkers began last weekend, but were halted in recent days by renewed fighting.
"The next stage of rescuing our people from Azovstal is under way at the moment. Information about the results will be provided later," said Andriy Yermak, head of the Ukrainian presidential staff. He gave no more details.
Authorities in Mariupol later accused Russian forces of violating a ceasefire at the steel works and firing at a car involved in evacuation efforts, killing one Ukrainian fighter and wounding six. Russia did not immediately comment on the city council's online statement.

Russia and West in long-term rivalry, says top French general
Russia's invasion of Ukraine did not go according to initial Kremlin plans, but the West must brace for a long-term rivalry with Moscow that risks going beyond the current conflict, France's leading general has said.
General Thierry Burkhard, the overall chief of staff for the French armed forces, told AFP in an interview that Europe needed to re-arm and strengthen its own unity for what will be a period of "long competition" with Russia.
President "Vladimir Putin has said it himself: We are not just talking about Ukraine but the Baltic States, Poland, Hungary," Burkhard said in Estonia, where French troops are deployed as part of Nato forces.
"We must be well aware that the Russians have a long-term strategy," he added, pointing to the emphasis Moscow has placed on developing specialised capacities, including hypersonic weapons.
"They are engaged an informational struggle and they have put the West under a form of energy dependency. Our lack of freedom of action comes from being in this spider's web put in place by Russia."

Germany's Scholz to attend G7 Ukraine discussion with Zelensky
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will take part in a G7 virtual discussion on Sunday on the situation in Ukraine that will be attended by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, a German government spokesperson said.
Scholz will also give a televised address to the German people on the evening of May 8, which marks the anniversary of the end of World War Two, the spokesperson added.
The date takes on special meaning this year as two countries that were once victims of Nazi Germany are now at war, added the spokesperson, referring to Ukraine and Russia.

Kremlin declines to say whether Putin apologised to Israel over Hitler remarks
The Kremlin on Friday declined to say whether President Vladimir Putin had apologised to Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett following an assertion from Russia's foreign minister that Adolf Hitler had Jewish origins.
Israel lambasted Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov for the comment, describing the remarks as an "unforgivable" falsehood that minimised the horrors of the Nazi Holocaust.
Bennett said on Thursday that Putin had apologised for the remark, and that he, Bennett, had accepted the apology.

Kremlin says Poland might be a source of threat
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Friday that there was hostile rhetoric coming out of Poland, and that Warsaw could be "a source of threat".
Poland has led calls for the EU to toughen sanctions and for the Western Nato alliance to arm Ukraine as it tries to resist Russian forces that have poured into its east.
Polish environment and climate minister Anna Moskwa said on Monday that "Poland is proud to be on Putin's list of unfriendly countries."

Nearly 25m tonnes of grain stuck in Ukraine
Nearly 25 million tonnes of grains are stuck in Ukraine and unable to leave the country due to infrastructure challenges and blocked Black Sea ports including Mariupol, a UN food agency official said on Friday.
The blockages are seen as a factor behind high food prices which hit a record high in March in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, before easing slightly in April, the FAO said on Friday.
Ukraine had been the world's fourth largest exporter of maize (corn) in the 2020/21 season and the number six wheat exporter, according to International Grains Council data.
"It's an almost grotesque situation we see at the moment in Ukraine with nearly 25m tonnes of grain that could be exported but that cannot leave the country simply because of lack of infrastructure, the blockade of the ports," Josef Schmidhuber, FAO Deputy Director, Markets and Trade Division told a Geneva press briefing via Zoom.
Schmidhuber said the full silos could result in storage shortages during the next harvest in July and August.

Exclusive: Putin faces ‘huge cost’ if he threatens other countries, warns Navy chief
Vladimir Putin will face a “huge cost” if he dares encroach on any nations outside Ukraine, the head of the Royal Navy has said.
In his first interview as First Sea Lord, Admiral Sir Ben Key told The Telegraph it was imperative that Nato nations worked to “contain” the invasion of Ukraine and did not allow it to “accelerate away from us”.
“The lessons of history would say that we are in a particularly fragile moment right now, which is why it’s really important that whilst the support we are giving to Ukraine at the moment is to enable them, we have to show in robust and resilient posture across the rest of the contact line with Russia ... so that President Putin understands this is not something that he can broaden without huge cost to him and Russia.”
Sir Ben accused Putin of an “egregious wrong” against Ukraine, urging the UK to continue to support Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, to help provide his fighters with “the wherewithal to defend their territory, their homeland and their people”.
US intelligence 'helped Ukrainian forces sink Russian black sea flagship Moskva'
The US says it shared intelligence with Ukraine about the location of the Russian missile cruiser Moskva prior to the strike that sank the warship, an incident that was a high-profile failure for Russia's military.
An American official said Thursday that Ukraine alone decided to target and sink the flagship of Russia's Black Sea Fleet using its own anti-ship missiles.
But given Russia's attacks on the Ukrainian coastline from the sea, the US has provided "a range of intelligence" that includes locations of those ships, said the official, who was not authorised to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The Biden administration has ramped up intelligence sharing with Ukraine alongside the shipment of arms and missiles to help it repel Russia's invasion.

Anti-Kremlin reporter faces fine for 'discrediting army'
An anti-Kremlin Russian journalist and municipal deputy has said he faced a fine of up to 100,000 roubles (£1,224) for discrediting the army amid Moscow's military campaign in Ukraine.
Ilya Azar said authorities had opened an administrative case against him "for discrediting the use of Russia's armed forces in order to protect the interests of the Russian Federation and its citizens, to maintain international peace".
The 37-year-old journalist with Novaya Gazeta, Russia's top independent newspaper, and a local deputy said, citing prosecutors, that the case had been opened over a post on Facebook but he had no other details.
"I was already beginning to worry that they had forgotten about me or that I was not speaking clearly enough against the war!" he said ironically.
After President Vladimir Putin sent troops to pro-Western Ukraine, Mr Azar left Russia. He is currently located in an EU country, he told AFP, without elaborating.

Russian will not use nuclear weapons - foreign ministry
Russia will not use nuclear weapons in Ukraine, foreign ministry spokesman Alexei Zaitsev has said.
Mr Zaitsev told reporters the use of nuclear weapons by Russia - a risk that Western officials have publicly discussed - was not applicable to what Moscow calls its special military operation in Ukraine.
CIA director William Burns said on April 14 that given the setbacks Russia had suffered in Ukraine, "none of us can take lightly the threat posed by a potential resort to tactical nuclear weapons or low-yield nuclear weapons."

EU offers concessions to Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic on oil embargo
The European Commission has amended a proposal for an embargo on Russian oil to extend the period before it takes effect for Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic, two sources have told Reuters.
Under the tweaked proposal, Hungary and Slovakia will continue to be able to buy Russian oil from pipelines until the end of 2024, whereas the Czech Republic could continue until June 2024, provided that it does not get oil via a pipeline from southern Europe earlier, the sources said.
It comes as Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban blasted European Commission head Ursula von der Leyen for "attacking" EU unity with a proposed Russian oil ban, saying it crosses a red line.
"The European Commission president, intentionally or unintentionally, has attacked the European unity that had been worked out," Mr Orban said on state radio.
"From the first moment we made clear that there will be a red line, that is the energy embargo, they have crossed this red line."

Separatists take down Ukrainian road signs in Mariupol
Moscow-backed separatists in southeastern Ukraine said they had taken down traffic signs spelling out the name of the besieged city of Mariupol in Ukrainian and English and replaced them with Russian ones.
"Updated road signs have been set up at the entrance to Mariupol," the transportation ministry of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic said in a statement.
The ministry released pictures of municipal workers in orange vests carrying away a road sign saying Mariupol in Ukrainian and English and installing a similar sign in Russian.
"Work to change road signs across liberated territory will continue," the statement said, adding that similar work had been carried out in smaller settlements.

Germany to send self-propelled howitzers to Ukraine
Germany will send seven self-propelled howitzers to Ukraine, the defence ministry has said, ramping up deliveries of heavy weapons to help Kyiv battle Russia's invasion.
The German army has about 100 howitzer 2000s in its stocks, but only 40 are combat ready.
No delivery dates were provided. Ukrainian soldiers are due to begin training in Germany from next week on using the howitzers.
Russian oligarch's yacht seized in Fiji on US request
Fiji authorities have seized sanctioned Russian oligarch Suleiman Kerimov's $300 million yacht in line with a US warrant, the US Justice Department says.
The 348-foot (106-metre) Amadea was berthed in Lautoka, Fiji in the South Pacific when the island state's law enforcement took control of it.
The US Justice Department had requested the vessel, which sailed to Fiji in mid-April, be held for violating sanctions and for alleged ties to corruption.
The Amadea is worth $325 million and has a helipad, pool, jacuzzi and "winter garden" on the sun deck, according to tracking website superyachtfan.com.
"The Amadea is subject to forfeiture based on probable cause of violations of US law, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, money laundering and conspiracy," the department said in a statement.
Almost 500 civilians have been evacuated from the battered city of Mariupol and its besieged Azovstal steel plant since a UN-led rescue operation began, the head of Ukraine's presidential office said Friday.
"We have managed to evacuate almost 500 civilians," Andriy Yermak said on Telegram. He said Kyiv will "do everything to save all its civilians and military" stuck in the devastated city, adding that the evacuations would continue.

Hungary 'cannot support' new EU sanctions against Russia in present form
Hungary cannot support the European Union's new sanctions package against Russia in its present form, including an embargo on Russian crude oil imports, Prime Minister Viktor Orban told state radio.
Mr Orban said the European Commission's current proposal would amount to an "atomic bomb" dropped on the Hungarian economy, adding that Hungary was ready to negotiate if it sees a new proposal that would meet Hungarian interests.

West 'incapable' of hindering Russia
The Kremlin has accused the West of preventing a quick end to Russia's military campaign.
"The United States, Britain, Nato as a whole hand over intelligence... to Ukraine's armed forces on a permanent basis," spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
"Coupled with the flow of weapons that these countries are sending to Ukraine, these are all actions that do not contribute to the quick completion of the operation."
But Mr Peskov said the West is "incapable of hindering the achievement" of the Russian operation's goals.

Hundreds of hospitals devastated by Russian forces, says Zelensky
Doctors have been left without drugs to tackle serious illnesses like cancer or unable to perform surgery as hundreds of hospitals have been devastated by the war in Ukraine, said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
In a video address to a medical charity group, Mr Zelensky said many places lacked even basic antibiotics in eastern and southern Ukraine, the focal points of the fighting.
"If you consider just medical infrastructure, as of today Russian troops have destroyed or damaged nearly 400 healthcare institutions: hospitals, maternity wards, outpatient clinics," he told the gathering.
In areas occupied by Russian forces, he said, the situation was catastrophic.

Volodymyr Zelensky said in a video address on Thursday that Russian forces were still storming and shelling the Soviet-era Azovstal plant, where civilians and military forces are sheltering.
The MoD said the assault has come at a "personnel, equipment and munitions cost to Russia".
Latest Defence Intelligence update on the situation in Ukraine - 06 May 2022
US denies claim its intelligence helped Ukraine kill Russian generals
The US Defense Department denied on Thursday that it provided intelligence on the locations of Russian generals on the battlefield so that Ukrainian forces could kill them.
Reacting to an explosive New York Times report on US support for Ukraine's military, Pentagon Spokesman John Kirby said it was true that the US supplies Kyiv's forces with military intelligence "to help Ukrainians defend their country."
But he added: "We do not provide intelligence on the location of senior military leaders on the battlefield or participate in the targeting decisions of the Ukrainian military."
In a separate revelation, US media reported later on Thursday that the US had shared intelligence that helped Ukraine sink the Russian warship Moskva last month, in a huge blow to President Vladimir Putin.
However a US official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told AFP that the United States does not "provide specific targeting information on ships".
